I still am amazed that you went through the expense of painting for 2 reasons.
1) You have never ridden the bike.
2) You have never even seen the bike in person... and my photographic skills are suspect at best!
I am glad for you that Dr. D didn't report finding damage under that ghastly rattle can paint the frame was hidden under.
Haven't read this thread in a while.
1) I have 2 marinonis that are 62x59cm (which are corky's reported dimensions)
2) This bike will only be ridden on very nice days and be babied... it is my showpiece but I will ride it.
Corky's bike have been used on the international stage and from what I have read he was a very well respected builder. The bike looks good to me in the photos and after Dr.D is done it will look like it is fresh from the build floor. I mean campy drop-outs and cable guides.. prugnat lugs and 531 DB tubes... can't be wrong. And the rare criterium set up for bar end shifters.... how often do you see that. This bike is very unique and classic and it is my size and deserves proper restoration.
