Perhaps we can add the Cinelli that Toby1974 had wanted to add last month well after the polling had begun?

Sorry mate, front light is much to modern :D :wink:

I had one of them when I was a lad. My first 'proper' bike. I wanted a 'racer' but my Mum said that drop handlebars would make me round shouldered. It soon got converted though :twisted:

Riding all them drop handlebars over the years has made me walk like Quasimodo - not!

BTW, I seem to remember that it had white wall tyres and straight 'bars. Can you actually get white wall 26 x 1 3/8 tyres these days?

This is my Colnago Super Piu decor, all original with new matching bottle cages. I the top picture I added a 1/A stem as the Colnago ITM was a bit too long for me....

Nonesense. My favourite so far and you at least deserve an award for entering the first bike I've seen on here for months that has mudguards!
