Giubilato Cromovelato

Giubilato is a small Italian bike company specializing in custom road bikes. Founded in 1963 by Silvino Giubilato, the company has a reputation for producing high quality, hand-built bikes tailored to the needs and preferences of each individual customer. Giubilato's bikes are known for their attention to detail and use of traditional construction techniques. Each bike is built by hand, with the frame brazed together using traditional methods rather than welded. The result is a frame that is strong, durable and highly responsive.

The Campagnolo Super Record groupset was the ultimate derailleur of its time. All sorts of strange claims were made: the aluminum was some kind of super special alloy, the black anodizing was some kind of super special coating, etc. The truth is a little more banal. The aluminum used is exactly the same alloy that was used on the Nuovo Record. The black anodizing is - wait for it - black anodized. The real technical differences were the use of exotic material for the two large Allen bolts and a larger "flange" on the pulley cage. The derailleur feels good in the hand, has a timeless look and feels valuable simply because it was once so absurdly expensive. It's hard to define what makes a classic, but whatever it is, the Campagnolo Super Record has done the job.
