Beautiful. From a time when bikes were objects of desire, rather than a lump of black carbon fibre as today.

100%. I was only saying that the other day.

Actually, I think this "lump of black CF" is quite fetching and has pleasing curves. She's no less easy on my eyes as my Condor. Opinions may differ. That's not a bad thing, or a cause for a fight, as it makes for variety and conversation.

I'll have the bottom one, anything with a sloping top tube is only fit for a skip! Or worse, for a lady to use...

I haven't taped the bars yet because I've been promised a Cinelli Grammo. Let's hope it's the size I need
Had a Cinelli Pinocchio and XA as backups and decided on the XA, for now.

Just when you think your finished with a project then more period correct parts appear and you just can't help yourself. So glad I didn't tape the bars.

Grammo was a bust
Seller confirmed no damage but has a nice crack in it.

Recent purchase to make the merckx more "team spec"
A rare, Dura Ace 7400-A seat post. Still waiting on a 100/105/110 Grammo stem if anyone out there can help .

I said to myself, I wouldn't get any SPD road pedals again but caved as usual. PD-7410s

Finally, a Grammo arrived to finish off the project.
