MEDICI BICYCLES
A companion to the nationally famous Pro Strada road racing bicycle, MEDICI’s Pro Pista track bike incorporates many of the design specifications and finishing features of its better known cousin.
Built of Columbus PS double butted chrome alloy steel tubing, this racer provides all of the strength, reliability and design conformity expected in olympic-class equipment.
Standard sizes are in even centimeters from 50 to 62 with custom builts available in any configuration from 46-½ to 74 cm. Special Columbus PS extra long sets are in stock.
Components are all Campagnolo SUPER RECORD (Except steel B/B axle & pedal spindles) with Triple T or Cinelli alloy or steel handle-bars & stems, MEDICI saddles & straps.
Note in the accompanying photographs the “beefy” 16mm seat stays, corner eating 1″ fork rake & steep angles. Although this standard is especially appropriate for the matched sprint, time trial, & kilo events a slightly different version is also available in easier geometry & PL tubing for pursuit use.
MEDICI’s training option adapts the standard sprint bicycle to the road by adding a drilled fork, short reach Campagnolo front brake & a dual sprocketed rear wheel that can accommodate either fixed or freewheeling single cogs on both sides.
Chrome options are not suggested because of the possibility of slippage but hard drying paint in any one of MEDICI’s eight colors provides lasting protection & appeal.
