FONDRIEST Top Level – authentic bike of Juan Manuel GARATE (Team Lampre Daikin 2001) – SOLD

Maurizio Fondriest was born in Cles (Trento) in the heart of the Val di Non on 15 January 1965. During his 12 seasons as a professional cyclist, he added a good 69 victories to his list of successes on the road. The winner of the World Championships at the young age of 23, he won the world cycling cup in 1991 and 1993, the mythical Milano-San Remo in 1993, and collected countless successes during his career both in traditional championships as well as stages in the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France.

After his career he decided to start with bike manufacturing. Ever since he started putting his name on the first frames, he realized that every single detail of the bicycle would have to reflect his personality and professionalism. Today, as in the past, he continues to be a great fan of this sport. Careful and meticulous about the technical aspect of bicycles, his focus on the seated position –in search of the perfect geometry – is a legend. After dedicating a professional career to sport, he put his family first, but the life of a great champion needs to carry on into the future and this is why Maurizio now transfers all his advice and experience to younger generations.

Team Lampre Daikin was an Italian based top level team with several big name on board: Gilberto Simoni, Robert Hunter, Jan Svorada, Frank Vandenbroucke, Juan Manuel Garate... In 2001 they won 15 races, the highlight is Gilberto Simoni’s victory at the Giro d’Italia…
