The Coppi is gonna look awesome. Nice headset :-)

Nothing left to say.... this has to be the ultimate retro build.

 

Agreed, 100%. I used to have a poster on my wall of Saronni winning the world champs on that bike.

Got this baby from Waynedude(thanks dude). Added a new Regal saddle and replaced the unsightly Shimano brifters with some classy Dura Ace brake levers and DT shifters. Rides beautifully.

Supplier of Freewheels

 

You guys with oldies must have a huge problem sourcing screw-on freewheels. These things are bastically extinct. I found this source the other day. They seem to make a decent freewheel with sprockets that aren't made from compressed ****.

Long live the freewheel!

Good find Johan. Theres a guy in the UK selling old stock Regina freewheels but at double the price.

hi guys and girls:

 

i have something that might interest you or might not, it urks me not to know what exactly what it is so here we go:i bought the frame and fork a year ago from a shop in CT: cheap because it looked horrific and is almost at the end of its life!!!!

 

anyway, the bb shell is stamped cinelli, has a brass cinelli badge up front and even has the outline of a cinelli sticker on the down tube, yet i cannot find anything that resembles this frame on the internet.

 

what i found to be close is the cinelli centurion equipe, but is is far from the same frame.

 

noticably the lack of cinelli stamping of brake arch and seat stays,the rear dropouts are stamped shimano SP which is very puzzeling.have a look and let me know what you think!!!!!!
