Hetchins Italia

Hetchins is one of the great names in British bespoke bicycles. They are famous for their elaborate details and find craftsmanship. The Italia model was a bit more restrained than some of their fancier models but still exhibits exquisite craftsmanship.

We bought this bike from the estate of the original owner. He had it made to order in 1974 and traveled to the Hetchins shop in London to pick it up. It is completely original and in like new condition. It must not have been ridden much; it could pass for new. It had sat in a basement untouched for 20 years. We completed a full restoration, cleaning and polishing all of the components.

The frame size is 52 cm c to c seat tube and 54 cm c to c top tube
