Screen shot 2010-11-19 at 16.25.53.pngVideo: Eurobike faves - Paduano SS
When we were at the Milan show recently I happened to catch part of a TV programme on the Italian country music scene… and it suddenly hit me where Paduano had gotten their inspirations from for the Paduano SS custom, specifically the classic Johnny Cash number One Piece at a Time. Though I'd guess this baby would cost you more than a dime.
Beauty is a subjective thing and Paduano do make some very beautiful bikes, but it would be stretching things to say that this is one of them. More we reckon it's a show special to show what they could do when it comes to melding modern and retro together in a titanium tubeset. I'm pretty sure we've seen it before too which may be why they were hiding it away at the back of their stand where only the more discerning bike fan would find it. Maybe
Anyway enjoy the vid and here's some bonus Johnny Cash too. Yeeha!
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
