Vintage 1920’s Automoto Professional Tour de France Bicycle in Original Paintwork
Pre-Owned Vintage 1920’s Automoto Professional Tour de France Bicycle in Original Paintwork …Automoto bicycles made history in the 1920’s with Ottavio Bottecchia winning in 1924-5 and had an amazing professional career.
This Automoto Professional Bicycle has the Original Paintwork, Pantographed Automoto Hubs, Cranks and Wood Rims. The French brakes are period and the Wood Wheelset function well, and mostly true given its 100 years old! in Good Condition, Storage marks, scratches, and Wear, in Fantastic Original Condition with amazing Patina…. To my knowledge this is not the bicycle Ottavio Bottecchia rode or neither can I say it has ridden in the Tour de France, but it is a Professional Model and who knows in those 100 years of history?
This has been ridden in Jan 2024 (Ready to Ride) and is a great piece of Cycling memorabilia and great for Eroica or just a wall hanger in the Man cave.
