Chesini Scapola RC Classy Fixed Gear

Ever since I stumbled upon @chesini_official 's shop in Verona Italy, a number of years ago, Chesini has been very high on the list of bikes I want to own. I was thrilled at the opportunity to buy this bike, and I really had no idea I'd be buying a Chesini that day but I happened to be wearing my Chesini T shirt that day. This is the Chesini Scapola RC, the top of the line single speed. Light and reactive frame built with Columbus Cromor tubes. Monostay at the seat stays for a sophisticated and "sleek and sporty" style. This frame has so many neat pantographs or engravings throughout the frame, and many beautiful, well thought out details. Originally, this bike came with a 5 speed belt drive system, but I had a vision for the bike and I really wanted to make it a light weight fixie, so I contacted Chesini directly. Chesini sold me the crank and rear hub to match the rest of the bike. I added a classic Brooks leather saddle, and some new Michelin Dynamic Sport 700x 32c tires to freshen up the bike. I am happy with how the bike turned out. Now, it's time to sell it, as I have too many bikes. Size is 55cm.
