From Bianchi to Simmoncini

Hello Guys,

I wanted to re-introduce myself to the forums, I have been away from this website for a while now but I always come back to check on threads whenever I have questions or whenever I feel like drooling at some of the bikes that get posted here. Anyhow, I also wanted to share with you the bikes that I have been collecting for the past couple of years. Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions about any of the bikes or if you would like any extra pictures of any particular one I'll be more than happy to take some and upload them.

Also if anyone is in the San Diego area and wants to ride vintage please let me know, I'm down for a ride

I'll still be here for the following 3 months before moving to Colorado.

Cheers!

Bikes:

Early 1960's? Bianchi Pista Campione del Mondo? - Integrated Headset/Full Campy Record/Inch pitch chain.
1980's Bianchi Specialissima - Full Dura Ace EX AX Dyna Drive with FC-7200 Pedals.
1982? Masi Gran Criterium - Full Campy Super Record.
1984? Cinelli Super Corsa - Full Dura Ace 7400.
White Bicycle: 1980's Olmo Columbus SL - Full Dura Ace 7400. I'm guessing it's a Competition model?
Chromed Bicycle: Late 1980's Simoncini Columbus SLX Original Chrome - Full Campy Super Record except for crankset

Very nice bikes. I picked up a Simoncini Special Professional recently that I am in the process of rehabbing. I would be interested in some close ups of your Simoncini.

Ditto. I have a Simoncini Cyclocross Special and it's a top performer. More pictures of your Simoncini would be appreciated.

This Simoncini is an interesting specimen: I bought the bike from a Czech ex-professional racer who race the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España a couple of times. According to him this was one of the frames he used to race on both Tours in the Late 80's and early 90's, the bike came with an Easton carbon fiber fork which I replaced with the Bianchi fork that it currently has.

I don't know why I cannot attach any pictures to this post... :S I already took them but it's not allowing me to upload them, I'll try later again I guess.
