Around the same time there will be a new “to die for” technology in bikes called rim brakes. Then with these new rim brakes someone will invent the “quick release wheel” with a beautiful skewer as you don’t need to be so precise with wheel placement to 0.000002” so can do away with those “thru...

Well said!

Picked a pair up on eBay for £100. 36/32 but that’s not a problem. Mint NOS so bit of a bargain really…..a few years ago they woukd have been £300 at least.

Looks like a 2500. Campag dropouts, round chsinstays.

Fabulous bike but one thing has me perplexed…running a 9 speed cassette with c record rear gear and chainset? What size chain did you use? 9 speed? If do how does that run on the chainset or have you fitted 9 speed rings to a c record crankset?

Seller on eBay trying to sell a pair of Cinelli 66 old logo bars for £450. They were in nice shape but……

As per title, looking for a single or pair of NOS Mavic SSC blue. Any drilling except 40!

Got a leather one in new condition, it’s tge one with the grained leather. £50

The plot thickens, I’m now pretty sure that this must have been a team frame as it’s a 531 frame! Pretty rare to find a super in 531 but there are a few around. Anyway, it is now painted and completed as a bike. Pics attached.

old thread I know but someone may be interested. The picture is a kessels frame. However as per the title I have a 531 built. Colnago super with no cloverleaf cutouts in lugs.

Non Campagnolo dropouts are the giveaway here. It’s an international model.

Thank you for the detailed responses, most of which I was aware of. I had a 68 Roma short while ago and many characteristics were the same or very similar to this frame. I also have what I believe is a very early Freccia, but again there are differences so some other freccia models. I have had...
