Hi Peroni, the extra photos of the Supercorsa are lovely. At a quick glance it looks to be mostly kitted out with Campy Super Record except for the front derailleur which is Nuovo Record. Nothing wrong with that though. I think the only difference between the Nuovo and Super Record front derailleurs is that the Super Record had black anodised arms. I have resorted to painting these in the past.
The alloy bodied Super Record headsets have always suffered with pitting of the races. I have often popped a cup out of the frame and turned it a little to get a bit more life out of the headset. It is really annoying to have the steering 'notch' into place and not be free to turn with smoothness. I like the old steel Nuovo Record headsets better. But, on an all Super Record bike I kinda stick with a Super Record headset. The newer C-Record headsets suffer from the same problem with the balls indenting the race.
As for the rear hub races - they can be replaced but I too would just change the ball bearings and go with that. If it is not ridden much that fix would be quite okay.
In my feeble mind, a Cinelli bike is the 'ultimate' and the 80's versions of the Supercorsa are the next best thing to owning a Cino Cinelli era frame.
SORRY Robvolz for being an accessory in this hijacking of your thread - sorry.
