Our Story
Passion for Italian Steel
Born from a lifelong obsession with the machines that shaped professional cycling’s golden era.
Who We Are
Curators of the Italian Cycling Heritage
Vintage Italian Bikes was founded with one purpose: to preserve, celebrate, and rehome the most significant Italian steel bicycles ever made. Based in Smithville, Texas, we source exceptional examples from Italy, France, Belgium, and across the United States.
We specialise in complete bicycles and components from the golden era — roughly 1960 to 1995 — focusing on Colnago, Bianchi, Cinelli, De Rosa, Tommasini, and Gios paired with Campagnolo drivetrain components.
Every bike we sell comes with a full condition report, provenance notes, and our honest assessment of what it needs. We believe the vintage market deserves transparency.
