Atala Corsa GS
 

I purchased this on Ebay and it arrived this week. I put it all together to get a few pics.

This is a 1984 frame per the serial number. It must have been produced in late 84 as it does have the Campione Del Mondo sticker for 1982, 1983, 1984. I believe it is a Corsa GS (their lower end frame) due the Tullio tubing and lack for chrome fork and rear stays. I thought there was a unique paint job on the rear stays, but they are actually covered in reflective tape/stickers. It actually looks pretty good and is in good shape. Here is the rundown:

Campagnolo 980 front and rear derailleurs
Ofmega Competizione crankset
Campagnolo Shifters
Selle Italia Flite saddle
ITM (I think) seatpost
Campagnolo Triomphe brake levers (hoods have been replaced)
3TTT stem and Competizione bars
Galli Aerodynamic brakes
Campy hubs 130mm spacing, not sure the model
Campy Victory Chrono tubular rims
no name platform pedals

It rides really nicely, though I did not really take it through its paces.

I would like to replace the seatpost (don't like the black) with a nice campy seatpost 26.2mm. Not sure about the wheels, I have some Campy wheels with clinchers, so I have options if I don't stay with the tubulars. I would like to get some new brake hoods and make it non-aero. And I will replace the saddle as I don't like the Flite saddles. Overall I am pretty happy.

That's a sharp looking bike. You don't see many Italian bikes for sale on CL in Iowa other than the occasional Bianchi.

No you don't. Occasionally on CL in Madison, which I watch regularly.

The rear shift lever shouldn't need that much throw to travel across a seven speed freewheel. All slack should be removed from the cable with the shift lever pushed all the way forward and the rear derailleur outer limit screw set to position the jockey pulley just outside of the small cog.

I believe the proper designation for these brakes is Galli KL.

It looks like the axle slot for the driveside dropout has been pried open slightly.

Please post the frame serial number for my database. TIA.

I agree with T Mar that dropout needs a little attention

As far as the shift levers, I have not yet adjusted anything, that is still to come. I just put the wheels on and rode. I had not even heard of these brakes until the bike arrived, so I had no idea how refer to them, so thanks for the heads up. I did not notice the dropout. They looked fine to me. So tell me what I am looking for. I assume you are seeing this in the photo with the rear derailleur? Thanks! Chris

84H6724 not 100% sure on the last number, but I think it to be correct.

Not sure if was the photo or not, but I removed the wheel and measured the dropouts with my calipers and they are consistent throughout, unless that is not what you meant.

Yeah, that's the pic they're looking at. It could just be the picture, but it looks ever so slightly spread apart (vertically).
