Hello my friends, I would like to show you my latest work. An Atala Corsa GS from 1987 in racing team colors.
The frame was stripped and repainted in its original color (I was lucky to find new decals for this frame on eBay)I decided to install a complete Campagnolo Victory groupset from the same period; it was not easy to find all the spare parts.
I assembled new wheels with Campagnolo Victory hubs, stainless steel spokes, and NOS Ambrogio Montreal rims. For tubular tires, I chose 28" Challenge Elite.
The seatpost was polished and painted with black inserts. The saddle is a San Marco Royal with titanium rail, while the stem and handlebars are Cinelli.
I hope you enjoy the photos.

Beautiful bike, well done!
Love the tubs — looking to finally build a set myself with near-NOS Campy Record rims and hubs I’ve had on the shelf for too long. How do you like the Challenge Elites?
Wow, so clean, looks fantastic! I rode victory derailleurs for years back in the day.
220 TPI, also wow. For those who think low pressure is something new 🙂
Best thing you did though was leveling that seat 🙂
Very nice!
Did you paint it yourself?
How did you prepare the old paint for the new paint? Sandblast, chemical strip, sanding, etc?
