My Coppi

[mpatts]

Saw this, fell in love, bought it without really knowing exactly what I was buying, other that thinking "Hey, that really looks like a photo I have"

Columbus tubing made by Fiorelli, Super record groupset, mavic GP4 rims and lovely hubs. Some "vintage patina" but overall love it.

Looking forward to researching what I've got! Any help gratefully received.

Cant help but looks ace!

Looks good but I can't see any Super Record, looks more like Nuovo Record or Gran Sport to me.

My apologies - early SR had me fooled.

No apology needed! Any idea as to age?

Frame looks very 1970s and according to Velobase the first generation SR mech like yours was produced from 1974-1979. Does it have a Pat. xx or Patent xx mark on the top pivot like in pics 3 and 4 here?
