Damnit, I really need to quit acquiring single-cogged fat-tired bikes.
The housing's wacky and long because the dude I got it from had albatross bars on it and I haven't gotten around to trimming the housing yet.
So there.

26". Feels BMXy, which is no surprise. Too bad I'm not keeping this one.

Jim-bob, ever take that up to Joaquin Miller, or the hills in general? I lived in East Oakland for 22 years and rode trails from San Leandro to El Cerrito all the time. Well, not one single trail, but just sayin' those were generally the areas we would bomb.

Brought the Marinoni home over the weekend, its almost finished, heres what we have going so far:
more photos on flickr
specs:
1982 Marinoni Special
Wheels: Campy Record Hub, Fiamme Tubular Rim
(still need to get the front from the shop, but it should match)
Stem/Bars: Cinelli Track drops, Hollands Stem (probably 110mm)
Cranks: Suntour Superbe
Seatpost/Saddle: Campy Post, Selle San Marco Concor saddle
Pedals: MKS Sylvans Borrowed Temporarily from my IRO
Gearing: 50x15
Looking at changing:
bar tape, pedals.
Looking at picking up:
a top tube pad, a street use wheelset.
I'll post more photos as I finish it.
edit: yes, there is a decoy duck in the bottom photo.

RyanD, I can't help but notice that your last name is Dudek... any relation to a James Dudek from western Jersey? He was something of a burn-out legend at my high school.

and i am pumped because HERE IS A DUDE WHO GETS IT! pretty much the only iro someone has posted in recent memory that wasn't gross.

So there.
So there.
I started working on the brakes, figuring I'd trim the housing back to a reasonable length, that sort of thing.
Some previous owner used shifter housing for the brakes, which is a big ol' no-no. Now I've exhausted my stash of brake housing, but hey, at least the bike's ready for its new home.
Fun bike. I could get used to it, if it stuck around.

I don't like it. I'm gonna order some white Stella Azzurra Eleganza instead.

ok, this is a work in progress... its the 71ish Raleigh Olympic track. it had a top tube dent, I know, I know, it wasnt the exact picture you had seen before, but this is the one that was crashed during the games. it was filled with some sort of a composite and heat wasnt used. so far its frame, fork, campy record headset and campy high flanges. ill post more pictures as soon as im not lazy.
