The Bottecchia of Eric Duldulao deserves closer examination. The freni (brakes) are Modolo Professional Nero but customized using hoods from the Modolo Superprestige. From the limited view looks like a rare Zeus crankset? It would be interesting to see the rest of the bike and parts.

2 thumbs up Ray.
