Damn, where'd you get those? They look brand new. Mine is pretty plain in this old photo but I am getting it powdercoated next week; white with yellow decals, I hope it is as awesome in reality as it is in my mind. I cannot afford Super Record so it will be mostly Shimano 600 with some new 105 brifters.
Of all the bikes I have owned, my Ciocc is the most comfortable and most agile. They really don't make them like this anymore...
Very nice ride, and I'm sure the new finish will look sweet, and make it look like new all over again!
As for my duo, both were NOS, the first was a shot in the dark wtb request for an Italian frame on craigslist, the second was a score on ebay. I've been super lucky getting some really nice frames, but I have trouble keeping them in NOS condition as I ride them regularly, race them occasionally, and have taken a bit of paint off the green Ciocc in a crash! :eek:

i love the classic ciocc next to that look with red cranks and cinelli ram. good to see you have a broad taste.
for what it's worth, i also have some 36h record/gp4s that i'm not using (with orig skewers), but mine don't have a corncob. PM me.
Nice catch! The Sram Red is on its way out on the look though, as I intend to return to Campy on the Look come next season, mainly for the sake of having consistent free hub body's on all my wheels.
As far as my tastes, I appreciate the compliment, I got into cycling heavily only two years back, when CF was already well established as a high end frame material with few drawbacks, but as I become more a cycling nerd, I was intrigued by the history of the sport, and I really fell in love with yesteryear's Italian passion and craftsmanship! It's hard for me to consider myself a well round cyclist until I ride a lugged steel frame, and down-tube shifters!
Lastly, thanks for the offer. I will surely keep that in mind as I decide on my future build.
