I got thus unused fake "Brooks" style saddle in a bike deal (read as: guy cleaning out garage giving away free stuff) years ago; including a real B.17 which was barely used. This saddle unfortunately had/has a couple issues (why I do not buy them) both from the factory and made by the previous...

Was doing some research and came across this being sold. Things seemed a bit odd so I contacted the seller and stated that I did not think it was a Colnago "Super"; but maybe another model (that I've never seen before). I asked a couple questions (there were only 7 photos) and referenced by...

I got this a couple years ago fairly low cost (I think due to its size) and it got packed, moved around, and buried. No refurbishing done, not even test ridden when first obtained though all components function fine (headset very slightly loose, tires/tubes-hold air). Gandolfi is a shop in...

C50 head lug: crack in finish, crack in lug, or just a scratch? Trying to help another determine if this is merely an aesthetic issue or more serious. The present owner (not the original owner) says that it has not been in an accident while in his hands, and he was told by the individual he...

An acquaintence has the bike and needs a BB assy. He says it is a JIS taper spindle. Does anyone know if they used JIS tapered spindles or if that is most likely a replacement that someone put in not realizing (or caring) about the difference between JIS and ISO taper length? Thank you!

Is anybody part of that F-book group? I was checking it out for a 1st time Colnago owner, and I (nearly 40 yrs of owning, and riding Colnagos) was denied joining. Some sort of joke group! I recommend not wasting your time there since they deny you access and on message state "Visit group"...

Does anyone know anything about this marque? Was Lloyd the actual framebuilder and/or the company owner? Any idea if it is related to the H. Lloyd company dealing with decals (they did not have any shown for Henry Lloyd bikes)? It has the early Reynolds Special Lightweight tube set (pre-531 pro).

Here is another 5 flute frame similar to the Gilco 4 flute style frame. I cannot verify that it is Columbus tubing, but rear drop-outs are Columbus and fork is fully Columbus (steerer, blades, and drop-outs). Based on features I believe it is from late 80s before Colmbus decal style change...

I pulled this out as an example in another thread. It is an odd frame, and other than my knowledge of the marque's history I don't really have any specific knowledge about it. Cicli Fusar Poli was founded in 1975 by Marino and younger brother Luciano; both amateur racers before the business...

Is anyone familiar with a European (?) Atlas marque. I am only familiar with the Indian marque. I bought this bike that was stated as being an Atlas, but there is no identifying it other than by it having "Atlas" hubs and an "A" design headlight bracket. It has a Magistroni bottom bracket...

I recently got a Campy cambio corsa bike. I presume the brand is fairly rare since I have yet to come across another. I bought the bike from a very old gentleman (original owner) in Modena Italy which is also where the brand was based. The bike never left its hometown which I find kind of cool...

Rebuilding a later (for me) Colnago Super. This model is of the "Piu" design with internal top tube cable routing, but before the same design was listed as "Piu" model unlike the Master which was given the "Piu" designation years earlier. I was never too concerned about keeping it original...

Automoto built frame bike from around 1930. I believe this was a contract build by Automoto for another company. I know they did that, but how many different brands used their frames is a mystery to me. It should have rivet holes for an Automoto head badge if originally badged as such since all...

Is anyone familiar with the tubing designation AQ 35? It is on an entry level "Mirella" model LERI made bike with Campagnolo: steel "Sport" (3 spoke) cranks, Nuovo Record rear mech, Record front derailleur, Record shifters; Ballila brakeset; 3T Record stem. The tubing decal states: "Tubi...

Is anybody knowledgeable as to when framebuilders/manufacturers stopped using French threading on BB shells? I am trying to date a frame and was curious if they had stopped (if they even did) using that design at some specific point in time or did it occur over many years?

I'm voting for the orange bike!

"NOS" Carbitubo frameset from shop display bike. Stored for 25 years stripped of parts except matching C Record delta brakes. Obtained 3 years ago, now getting ready to assemble after gathering parts (carbon Record 10 group, Ritchey carbon bar and stem); still need desired wheels (have Ksyrium...

Old Fiorelli made Coppi frameset with DALLA LIBERA decals. Fork crown has Coppi inserts. Italian threaded steerer and BB shell (70mm). Dalla Libera bike shop sold bikes in the region (Latina, Italy) with their own branding. I cannot find a similar fork on any 70's Coppi or Fiorelli bikes, only...

Similar to Colnago Regal and ESA Mexico frames. 6 flutes on main tubes. Repaint, but not a 'rattle can' job. BB has '53' stamped on it; I assume it's the size (I measured the ST as 53.5 cm c-c, 55 cm c-t, TT 55 cm c-c). Seat cluster lug has 'P-10' stamped on it (possibly a lug designation); no...
