I got this as a bonus in a bulk parts purchase at a swap meet this past weekend.

I picked this up the other day. I posted it in the CL thread. It was very dirty, and a bit rusty. It came with a Campagnolo 50th Anniversary group, sans pedals and freewheel (not cleaned yet). I spent the day cleaning it up,

Nice DeRosa!
I had one of those Diamondbacks in the 90s. Great handling bikes!

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Noticed in a neighbor's yard his utility trailer loaded up for a dump run with what looked like a couple of bikes. Don't know the guy well and did not want to wander into the yard too far so left a note on his windshield proposing that if he was discarding them I'd be willing to donate them to the local co-op instead. Saw him tonight and got the bikes, a Next and a Huffy, both cheapo mountain bikes. Nothing of interest to me so I will donate them. If they'd been interesting I'd have had to donate something in their place.

that will go great on a build or fetch some $$ on ebay. I've acquired and sold so many different bike items, including campy tools sets, cobaltos, c record groups and other rare stuff but i've never had any 50th parts in my hands and i've seen a lot of big collections.
I as well sold a really nice De Rosa frame as well, unfortunately mine had a lot of cosmetic issues.

Picked up this for not too many dollars, everything is C-Record except the hubs and it has some neat pantographs and the tubes are fluted, similar to Gilco tubes on a Colnago Master

I need help with ID details....?
While looking for a smaller frame to build for a brother-in-law I came across an old Raleigh. (auto salvage yard- $10)
Frame was my size so I picked it up of course. Searching the usual sites I think it's a '72 Raleigh (Nottingham badged)
Gran Sport (frame- I think the original campy gear was swapped down-). That's based on the location of the SN, chromed forks (full chrome- painted over half way down- chrome rear stays-round. And one real puzzler is a "TT" marked on the underside of the bottom bracket. It is the original black and chrome, but I cant find any catalog pics to match it completely. Or any dates on components. Any suggestions??

SC or Grand sport?
What is throwing me is the fact the only graphics remaining are the two silver bands on the seat tube )which looks like the SC) but I've read that the serial numbers -numbers only, no letters- were only located on the dropouts on the grand sports. Can anyone confirm the serial number situation? ( sn 274900 )

puzzle progress
1968-72 Raleigh Super Course, but I think closer to '72 - Nervex Professional lugs, chrome socks fore and aft with stamped dropouts, and a steel cottered crankset point that way. Reynolds 531 plain gauge main tubes with Raleigh 2030 forks and stays and a serious cult following. Try a 26.4 seatpost to confirm it ... Nice catch on a model that has a devoting fan base.
numbers only SN was (in only the earliest of '70s) was done on Grand sports, SC and I forget the third model. I've not found any '71 catalog or sales blurbs. Going through catalogs 69 thru 74, the color (black) doesn't show anywhere on either model and the forks are fully chromed but painted over down to the "socks" level! I did a test though. I swapped out the steel chainwheel for an alloy, threw on a pair of lighter (but still steel) wheels, an alloy seatpost and now the thing weighs 26 lbs. The listed weight for and only for the Grand sport. SC lists at 28 with the same equipment. I'm stuck at this point, but I'm going to upgrade build this keeper anyway. OH, and the Shimano 600EX -first gen 600- bottom bracket and crankset fit perfect. Which means it isn't a Nottingham OEM threading.

These came out of a plastic tub just as I was talking to the mechanic. They don't use dated stuff so I threw them a fair offer, came home with me. Look to be mid- late 80's NCG 500 Dia Compe brake set. Pad are a write off but they were the nice Scott/ Mathauser ones. They will go very nicely with the matching levers I have been holding onto.
