This Colnago above is a classic, yet it just needs a little bit more work done to be authentic.

When this frame came out it was almost impossible to buy an all-black tubular tyre.

Also, it's running a Super Record road headset instead of the track version.

The saddle also is far too modern. It needs a black Turbo or Rolls.

Finally, the group set is mixed - Record seatpost, hubs, cranks, but Super Record pedals and headset. Chainring appears to be a Sugino?

I'm only saying all this coz I'm jealous

Is that a One-Way frame? With a Nexus hub? How'd you work the spacing on that?

I was tossing a similar idea around in my head with my steamroller frame...

That's an awesome set-up fixed or with 7/8 speeds.

I spotted a classic orange Merckx at the track tonight, almost everything period correct except the cranks (current Record) and saddle. Thing was a dream come true... the Sherrif Stars topped it off.

Marqueemoon nails it, the Della Santa and Ira Ryan are two of my favorite classy rides ever.... I'd lose the starfish crank on the Della Santa but otherwise completely perfect.

Handlebar bag on the Coho is a Berthoud.
