Luciano Paletti Super lightning
Here we have a genuine Italian super bike from the Modena workshop of one Italy's foremost frame building innovators Luciano Paletti, visit Frameteller's site here for an indepth history of Luciano Paletti and Bici Paletti.
This machine has undergone a full nut and bolt, back to bare steel restoration including a full alignment, remaking a full decal set,automotive two pack paint professionally matched to the original colour, only the forks remain in original paint including the very sexy hand lined Itialian tri colour running down the sides.
Every part of this bike is period perfect except the wheelset which is slightly later Campagnolo C-Record set. It has also been treated to a few very nice period performance upgrades in keeping with it pedigree.

I have personally test ridden this bike about 100 km's, and I guess all I can say is that this machine delivers all I imagined and hoped that it would, and I had very very high expectation for this particular one as I had gone into this built from the begining with the idea of building a machine as if I where building it for my personal collection.
