The purpose of this classic-vintage site is to encourage those interested in enjoying and preserving vintage lightweight "racing" style bicycles of the period from the early 20th century until 1999. These are primarily steel, most often "lug built, not welded, injection molded, or glued. We are devoted to road and pista machines rather than mountain bikes, "middle weights", BMX, recumbent, and balloon-tired bikes. Those bikes have merit, but are not "on topic" for the Vintage Wheeler.

1998 Mercatone Uno Bianchi Mega Pro Reparto Corse



Marco Pantani (Mercatone Uno) rode his custom
Bianchi to victory in both the Tour de France and
Giro d'Italia in 1998




These chain stays would look relatively small as
compared to modern carbon bikes but that didn't
stop Pantani from flying up the mountainsides




















Bianchi's Mega Pro down tube profile started
out round at the head tube then switched to a
slight teardrop shape in the middle before ovalizing
at the bottom bracket shell
