Need some help locating a 1:9 bicycle kit...no, really!

[Daniel Peterson]

"Protar model kit for 1980 Bianchi Specialissima 1.

Squadre Campione Italiana Campagnolo Super Record

road bike. Size 1:9."

At least that's the text from the 'bay auction

that has since closed...

It is referred to on the box as model no. 23174

My brother, 42 and now getting back into competitive road

racing (...as in bicylces, you know, like Lance Armstrong and all)

also built models as a punk kid. While looking for "real" bike

parts on eBay, he found this kit and decided he wanted it in

the worst way, albeit a little too late.

Does anyone in the States have a line on where he might

find one? This was sold out of Switzerland, but he's hoping to

score one on this side of the Atlantic.

If anybody has any ideas, please e-mail me at your

convenience. Thanks!!

Those kits used to be sold in the US by several distributors. I would try Phoenix Models in Florida. They have a website phoenix-model.com . i just checked and they don't have them listed anymore. Those kits are not really that hard to find. Keep watching Ebay and be patient. You will find them at a decent price. I think there were 4 different bike kits.
