The Special Edition has been recreated using the original features: a Selle Italia Turbo 1980 saddle, iconic red Reynolds 753 frame tubing, Cinelli bars, Mavic Rims, Campagnolo Drive Train, and the new model has been equipped with a larger 10-speed cassette to get up any gradient. 

Continued Adam;

“Just 250 bicycles and framesets will be available, and each will come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by legendary rider Joop Zoetemelk.” 

In the build-up to the official release, fans of the team will also be able to join an exclusive online event that will include an interview with the man himself, Joop Zoetemelk.

Plus, you’ll get exclusive early access to be among the first to purchase this iconic piece of history.”
