| 10 Newest Frame & Head Badge Comments Added |

| Cinelli Track Fork Crown | bulgie | 07/01/2017 09:38 PM |
| Not sure if it is Cinelli brand (I don't think it is) -- it was sold by Columbus as Columbus brand. It is not a track crown, as shown by the brake hole and the oval blades. It was not investment cast, it is machined in three pieces, a true two-plate crown. It only fits Columbus oversized tandem blades. |
| Takahashi Bottom Bracket Shell | bulgie | 07/01/2017 09:31 PM |
| Very high quality, cast in Japan by Hitachi -- you can see the Hitachi symbol, that circular cast-in hallmark seen near the left edge of the photo of the bottom.
This shell was also available without the long points on the inner parts of the chainstay sockets, just a traditional rounded spoon shape, intended for use with a separate chainstay bridge.
Traditional tube sizes only: 1-1/8" ST & DT, 7/8" round chainstays. Made in English or Italian thread, 68 or 70 mm wide respectively. |
| Takahashi Fully sloping | bulgie | 07/01/2017 09:19 PM |
The model designation was "Mer". Some of the Taiwanese knockoffs, that were near-exact copies, even called their copy Mer. The Takahashi was a better quality casting, cast in Japan (by Hitachi I believe). Great strength and ductility, free of voids, with a superior surface finish. Mer was available with a shelf at the bottom of the steerer bore, or bored straight through. 1" steerer only.
The pictured crown is the second-generation. The first had a round "land" where the brake mounts.

| Guerciotti Sprint (by ALAN) | JAKE | 03/03/2017 02:54 PM |
| I have 2 bikes very, very similar to this. The Guerciotti has no "sprint" designation, only marking is on the seat tube near the top right side: "tourist" stamped into frame, I think that there was "486" also stamped in the same area. The frame itself looks identical and is of '85-'86 vintage with either Campy victory or triomphe gruppo (trying to use this forum to identify). I have another frame that is identical to the Guerciotti; a Tommaso (made by the same manufacturer as everything is the same, stamped on BB made in Italy with same frame size stamped also). I rode the Guerciotti once since it was bought as an investment, it has absolutely no wear ( maybe 50 miles on this frame, only 1 mile by myself)and I still have the original tires (although not functional, still no signs of wear). Purchased the Tommaso since I could ride it and essentially be riding the "G". Both very good bikes; lots of mileage on the Tommaso, but all bonded joints still seem fine. I will provide pics in the near future as I have no camera. Thanks to all! |
| Colnago Super (1982) | JAKE | 03/03/2017 02:30 PM |
| My first "really great bike". Although the frame is about 4 cm's too big I love riding this bike. I cannot determine the year, and from the examples provided it doesn't match any specifically. Very similar to this '82 model, but my fork crown lug seems somewhat different, but pantographs are the same. Decals are very close, but down tube decal has no striping. The cable routing for the derailleurs are guides brazed on the top of the BB, '76 model showed no detail of this so I can't compare the frame to it. Right now I can only assume that it's somewhere between '77 and '81 (any ideas?). Has a Record/Nuovo Record gruppo with the BB assy a sealed bearing Edco Competition (I think Swiss made), and replaced with Campy Athena after failure (note: I found replacement bearings for the Edco so I've got a spare if someone's looking for one). I don't know if that was the original BB for the bike as I purchased it in '86 and have just put it up for complete rebuild after 30 years of riding. Once again I'm technology disadvantaged and I cannot at this time provide pics. I will in a later posting. Thanks to all! |
| Colnago C94 | JAKE | 03/03/2017 02:00 PM |
| I have a complete bike in this apparent model design, but I'm still not sure if it's a C94. Hand painted and signed frame (although color scheme is slightly different-blue and cream with Colnago on the top tube is only on the top side of the tube) and the only decals are the Colnago head tube badge, Columbus near the top of the seat tube, and Campagnolo near the bottom of the down tube. The fork is swept and not straight, the chromed lugging is also different. Nearly every component, except stem and bars, is Campagnolo even the seat tube clamp bolt is marked. Came with Campy Vento rims as I purchased it from the original owner. If anyone can ID this bike model/approx. year I'd be quite thankful. I do not possess digital imaging equipment so no pics as of yet. I will try to include some in my next posting. Thanks to all! |
| W.F. Holdsworth Nuovo Record | CBguy | 02/01/2017 09:06 AM |
| Hi Mick, Is this the same frame as Holdsworth Special on this site as same serial number and also added by yourself? Interested as am chasing Holdsworth serial numbers and would like the number for records. Thanks, Doug |
| W.F. Holdsworth 1967 Holdsworth Italia Team Professional | CBguy | 01/31/2017 02:17 PM |
| Hi Burt,
This looks to be the same "Bob Addy" frame as on Classic Lightweights. http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/bikes/holdsworth-pawsey-rb.html
However I notice the serial numbers are recorded differently. Yours as 674108 and CL as 674706.
I have been searching Holdsworth Serial numbers and this number has an extra digit compared to other shop builds for 65-75. In 4000's is too high a number for Putney shop builds in 1967. ?Possibly extra digit signifies a team bike or perhaps a different number used by Collard if built off site?
I've been working along with Dave Scrimshaw with threads on Retrobike and Bike Forums trying to sort out the various Holdsworth serial systems
It would be nice to know how clear these numbers are? Is 674108 accurate?
Many thanks, Doug Allen |

| I think this frame was already produced in 1982 (http://veloretrocourse.proboards.com/thread/1031/documentaire-mesure-collage-cadre-duralinox) |
