Let's see those retro road bikes

OK so it's a bit too big for me (stumpy legs) so I'm selling it, but it's still a cracking bike:

Help me identify this seventies bike. It seems to be English, no evidence it ever had a serial number, all Campy, and a unique treatment of the bottom bracket, a heart cut out of the shell and the lug.


Nearly but not quite:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1973-De-Rosa-Eddy ... 240%3A1318

The bike I posted was crudely built by comparison, and the hearts on the DeRosa are done better. I noticed that the DeRosa heart cut out of the BB points the other direction.

I had a Colnago for a little over 30 years, and it had clover leafs cut out of the lugs. Finally broke the frame.

My pride and joy is my 1987 Pennine roadbike. Raced hard from approx 1992 - 1998, many victories, many memories. Now retired to turbo training duties as I dont race anymore.

I also have a Raleigh Scorpio from 1993, that is festering in the garage loft at my parents house. It was only ever intended as my hack/training bike, and is kitted out with lights and mudguards! Never washed, never serviced, never missed a beat :cool:
(mine isnt this actual bike, as its legrandefromage's)
