Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and show off my bike.
It is a Bottecchia Aviator RC2 - Full Carbon.
Not many people know about this brand however i have a lot of good mates that only ride them and I can confidently say that it is an awesome bike and I am extremely happy with it.
This model was ridden to a Giro d'Italia stage win in 2006 in the Under 23 class, further reinforces the racey geometry it has.
The creator of this brand, Ottavio Bottecchia was actually the first Italian to win the Tour de France back in the black and white times
At the moment it has a full Campagnolo Centaur Groupset.
Campagnolo Khamsin wheels with Vrdestein Fortezza tyres..... I know the wheels are entry level but they're a robust training wheel. Hopefully upgrading to either Campagnolo Shamals or Fulcrum Racing Zeros soon.
Bottecchia fork, bars, stem and seat post.
San Marco Seat with matching De Rosa bar tape.

I suppose everybody who watched Lemond win the 1989 TdF knows Bottecchia (despite the fact that he actually rode a rebadged TVT )
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
