Prince Albert Cycles Posted May 17, 2019 Share Got this today . Knew nothing about this brand until today . Chesini has been making bicycles for 90 years and is still doing it . This one came with a branded Chesini saddle and pump . Groupset unfortunately old Shimano . Can't see a serial nr would love to date it BuffsVintageBikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_W Posted May 17, 2019 Share Nice find! I got one while back and had also never heard of them before. A good resource is Steel-vintage.com I browsed through their past sales and found some examples with dates. If it looks original then maybe the component dates might get you close to dating it. BTW I think many of them came out originally with Shimano groupsets, mine has 8 speed 105 so from the early 90's Here's the link to mine in the classifieds <https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/356331-chesini-criterium-corsa-for-sale/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw1004 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Chesini had representation in SA (Cape Town) until about 2004/5. Hand built in Verona Italy. Models sold here were primarily Aluminium (Deda tubing) and a handful of carbon frames. Campag equipped. Great frames, with even better craftmanship.

eddy Posted November 15, 2019 Share . Can't see a serial nr would love to date it It is definitely older than 16 years so it is legal to date it. Weird, but legal and each to his own I say..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
