    Cinelli identify: not an SC

    Unfortunately the seller has posted only close up photos of the frame, with few details, I'm assuming it's been repainted, not a Super Corsa? Chrome underneath? Any thoughts?

    Mystery Spade bottom bracket shell

    This has come up locally for pretty cheap, I'm leaning towards an Italian frame but not sure. Any ideas? It's my least favourite frame colour, green, but it does come with a campag headset and bottom bracket.

    Vintage Colnago Carbon rims?

    Came across these recently on French eBay (I'm building a 'nude' Colnago Titanio stripped back to the raw Titanium): Colnago branded carbon effect (definitely aluminium) rims. Complete revelation, never seen the like! I'm assuming they're made by Ambrosio, who made a number of Colnago rims...

    Mystery Colnago ?

    It's not the best photos but it's the only ones I can get till I see it in the metal. What model of Colnago has a mount for aero levers, and what looks like Gilco star tubing? Clover leaf on head lugs and fork crown, 3/4 chrome rear stays, internal brake cable routing. Was thinking it might be a...

    Panto experts wanted!

    Found this locally for cheap, but unsure of the provenance of it. Chesini?

    French thread cutters? Bonkers

    I bought three thread cutters, for a good price. I reckon they are probably 1950s, they look like VAR but can't be sure. I'll upload photos later but they are very weird sizings. One of them is 35.2mm the other 36.15mm. This is probably a question for Bikeworkshop, is this normal, to be...

    Carbon repairers? Advice

    I've bought this vintage American Classic (turn of the millennium) wheel to try and repair it. I've watched a few videos with carbon repair sheet and epoxy, but I'm intrigued if it could be simply be 'filled'. The damage is light and it's no more than 0.75mm deep. The wheel won't see a lot of...

    Eddy Merckx Corsa question

    Is this the T Mobile colours Merckx? It's SLX so I'm assuming it's a Corsa Extra, but no decal.

    eBay: Up the Swanee?

    Been scouting around for some parts to complete a C Record Colnago build and prices have really hit the floor (even for rare stuff like 50th anniversary). 1st gen C Record derailleurs which were 4-500 a year ago, seem to be struggling at 200 now. My pal paid only 380 euro for a fair condition...

    Colnago Mapei decals

    I remember seeing a stock of these on a well known German forum, but no more 😬 I've got a usable Titanio that's seen better days and I quite fancy taking it back to the metal and repainting in Mapei livery. Hunted high and low for decals, but no joy... Any ideas?

    eBay Timings and Listings

    Just as an experiment I tried listing items at different times of the day to see what the results could be. I've noticed a pattern that on occasion, if you list something in the early evenings, it will get absolutely zero views no matter what. Or if you list too many items at once (more than 5)...

    The Ultimate Camper!

    This just come up for sale, it's a guy I met at Anjou Velo last year, a very keen eye for restoration. It's an Aviac camping model. 3500 though... I'm restoring two of these Aviacs and a Mecadural, I doubt I'll get anywhere near this finish as it's extremely original. Nice bloke, with superior...

    Colnago Master Retinato Paint

    I've been lusting after one of these early Retinato paint Masters for a while now (hatched two tone paint). Not sure which year this one is but probably 82/83. Unfortunately too small for me, but seems a good price for a Master with decent chrome. Ends tomorrow, regular auction...

    Reynolds 531 decal mystery...

    This is the first time I've seen a purple and green Reynolds logo on a decal. Can't quite work it out. Is it a repro? It's not a colour fade, it appears to be similar to the rest of the bike. It doesn't look like a water slide original though, perhaps a modern vinyl? I only have this one photo...

    Bad News: eBay removes non eBay shipping for private sellers!

    From 15th April 2025, eBay is introducing a new shipping system called Simple Delivery. For private sellers, this will become the only way to send parcels* — and means you won’t be able to use your own couriers outside of eBay’s platform. 'Simple' generally means more complicated, less flexible...

    Colnago Vintage Logo ID?

    Seen this recently online, it's a vintage musette with a turtle on a Colnago? It's not something I've ever come across before, any ideas on the origin of the Turtle or the advert?

    Wanted Campagnolo Record LH crank 180mm

    Preferable without much heel rub. Threads and taper must be good.

    Wanted BIG Colnago forks!

    Preferably Precisa straight version, but would consider anything bigger than a 215mm steerer (threaded), one inch. Would also consider 235mm+ carbon one inch Colnago. Chrome finish preferred but would consider painted.

    The Worst Job I Ever Had ...

    The worst job I ever had (apart from the removing of lobsters from Jane Russell's unmentionables) was getting this seat post out of a very lovely Alex Singer. Normally I wouldn't touch a bike with a 'tige de selle coincer', but it was too nice a bike to let rot in the squalid cellar I found it...

    Chas Roberts frame ID

    This is just described as 'steel frame', it's kinda obvious it's a pukka Chas Roberts, but I'm not sure it's an 853 or a 953. The rear stays where the metal is exposed is definitely not chromed, so I'm thinking towards 953. I have these limited photos to go on. There is no tubing decal anywhere...
