Daccordi Designer Campagnolo Athena Retro Road Bicycle 1980s

Description:

Daccordi was founded in 1937 by Luigi Daccordi in San Miniato, a small town in Tuscany. Initially, Luigi repaired bicycles before he began building his own frames. Early on, he placed great emphasis on craftsmanship and using the best materials, which quickly earned him a strong reputation. In the 1950s, the focus shifted to building racing bikes as cycling became more popular in Italy.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Daccordi established itself as one of Italy's leading frame builders. The brand worked closely with professional cyclists to develop frames tailored to the specific needs of riders. Many of their racing bikes were made from Columbus steel, one of the top materials for frame building at the time. This period marked the golden age of cycling, and Daccordi was a central player.

Despite changes in the bicycle industry during the 1980s and 1990s, Daccordi remained committed to its tradition of craftsmanship. Every bike was still handmade, setting them apart from many mass-produced models. Daccordi continued to focus on the highest quality and precise workmanship, maintaining its reputation as a manufacturer of premium racing bikes.

Today, Daccordi is still family-owned, led by Luigi Daccordi’s descendants. The brand is known for blending tradition with innovation, with each bike remaining a unique creation. Daccordi enjoys high regard among cycling enthusiasts and collectors of vintage bikes, appreciated for both its history and the exceptional quality and design of its frames.
