I got this a couple years ago fairlt low cost (I think due to its size) and it got packed, moved around, and buried. No refurbishing done, not even test ridden when first obtained though all components function fine (headset very slightly loose, tires/tubes-holds air).
Gandolfi is a ahop in Brescia Italy that used to sell bikes under their own name, now just other brands. Present staff is not aware if frames were built inhouse or not during the era of this frame. "Super" model; Columbus "SL" frame set w/"house" fork (could be Columbus; but no helical ridges in steerer so not an "SL" steerer or other sets that used the same design)), and a variety of parts. Seat tube 49.5mm c-c/51cm c-t; top tube 52cm c-c, rear fork 128mm. Not sure what was original except stem; but I suspect all the OFMEGA, 3ttt, Campagnolo, and Universal parts are original. Everything included except OE chainring nut/bolt and bar plug missing.
At present:
-Campagnolo: Nuovo Record rear mech (PAT. 11, '85); Record front mech (3 hole cage), post (27.2) and shifters (curved & panto'd)
-OFMEGA: Mistral crankset/BB (52/42); Sintesi Pedals; Super Competizione headset; front hub (Gran Premio?);
-3ttt: Competizione bar (w/probably original Ribbon tape), Criterium stem (panto'd and milled)
-Shimano (replacement parts): rear hub FH-HG50 w/ 7 speed Hyperglide cluster (13,15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26) with very little wear, QR skewers
-Universal: Mod. 77 brake set (hoods toast!)
-Concor Super Corsa saddle
- Fiamme (replacement parts): Duran rims (622x14)
-Michelin tires (20mm front-old/no good, 23mm rear-new)
-Miche post binder hdwr.
-generic replacement chain
-Super Record (brand) rear drop-out
-generic unbranded front drop-out
Not sure how well the NR mech will shift 26t (I only go 23t-24t normally with Campagnolo inline mechs, but i have seen one NR do 26t with slight modifications to either it and/or the FW), but I assume if it was configured this way it must have worked okay. Newer cog designs should help shifting; should be interesting.
I know nothing about the "Duran" rims. Are they FiR made badged as Fiamme after the buy-out?
