Is it my turn? Letīs see if we can figure this one out:

I bought this frame from a janitor in Germany. I guess they were clearing out a basement. It was an (in-) complete bicycle in poor shape.

Frame and fork both fully chromed

Campagnolo Super Record group (2nd generation)

Campagnolo Chorus rear derailleur (1st generation)

Front derailleur missing

Modified 180 mm crankset without a date code

Cinelli 1R stem with a “Flying C”

Price reasonable.

I mean, VERY reasonable.


Matching numbers on bottom bracket shell and fork (“151”)

Columbus pigeon symbol on the fork

27.2 mm seat post

Thin Campagnolo fork ends, thin and short Campagnolo frame ends

Cinelli S.C. bottom bracket shell

Open fork tips, chain stay and seat stay ends

Concave seat stay caps

Sloping fork-crown

Fork-crown and brake bridge drilled for Allen nuts

For clamp-on front derailleur and shifters

Brake cable guides brazed on

Italian threads

126 mm frame width

Seat tube 50 cm c-c, upper tube 49 cm c-c. Yes.


No decals, no engravings, no cut-outs, no dealer sticker. I forgot to check the date code on the hubs before I sold them. None of the components in the pictures are those the frame came with, except for the headset, the seat post, the brake levers and the brake calipers; all of these were plain factory-style. The drilling, paint and panto was added later by my friend and myself (THAT was fun!).
