Gianni Motta Personal especiale

Chance bestowed me this special frame a while back. Threw the parts over from the Mondonico so i could ride it real quick. Winter hit NY shortly thereafter and it sat in a box until i moved cross country. Now it's out and i finally snapped a quickie. Better photos and probably a different build later. This has been, for a long time, among the top billing of only a select handful of framebuilders to be represented in my permanent collection. Incredibly fortunate to find the gilco iteration. The ride feel is nearly beyond words. Tight, snappy, race-tuned from a time before advanced shaping and tube shuffling was big, yet supple and luxuriant as an italian leather shoe.
