Hi all ,
If anyone is after a set of transfers I have a couple of sets that Michele sent to me when I purchased the carbon model. They are the same as the ones on my blue SLX model but they have white lettering.I also bought 2 frames in 1985, one was made from Columbus Air tubing shaped like a tear drop ,the only problem it had was the way the seat was clamped it kept falling down the other was shaped like Francesco Moser's hour record time trial bike.It was made from oria tubing,it's a shame that I don't still have them the only remnant's I have is a 3ttt stem and the columbus air seat post it's fully panto.A coulple of ex-olympians called the Sansonetti's who raced for Australia were the people who brought Paletti's to Melbourne,I think they raced in Paletti's team in Modena.I had Michele ask me if I if I still had contact with them as he had lost contact .A friend of mine works with one of the brothers who renewed his contact with him as he moved his shop to bigger premises in mid 90's.From memory I paid about $3000 for my SLX in !985 and the frames were about $1500.
Regards John roger

I do have a spare stem its a 3ttt polished aluminium at about 105 or 110 mm but the only problem is that its at my mums place in Melbourne on my old track bike its a 2 hour plane flight from Brisbane I still have a set of transfers at home in Brisbane I can't remember if they are black or white background. I usually go and see mum every couple of months ,I came back yesterday from a trip back home.

Is anyone able to identify what model Paletti this is and which year?
Please ignore the groupset and wheels, I bought the frame and fork and added the groupset from various bits I had lying about.
Appreciate any feedback you are able to provide.
Columbus decal almost washed off, rear brake cable routed over the top tube (not internal), only one WB cage boss on down tube, Paletti dropouts, 27.2mm seatpost - LH lug has thread to fasten the seatpost, Columbus dove stamped on fork steerer.
