Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

And also, all the columbus pinarellos I have seen has the "dove" engraving on the lugs, while the one posted above has this pill shaped engraving, definitely I'm not familiar with ;)

hard to tell from the pic but i'd say that's not a wet slide graphic but a cut vinyl graphic with lacquer on top so not original livery for sure, plus it's clearly had the track ends added at a later date due to the cable guides on the bb

if it's light, looking at the cluster and the details next to the brake bridge it could be a late 80's montello which is columbus SLX - the forks on these were lovely - true puppy slaughter

however this bb is different - yours could be fake? - a lot of pinarellos i have seen a pant0 crazy

Great - thanks everyone very insightful

What is this frame called?

what model of colnago could it be? anyone?

this is my bike. I think it was made in Australia by a family business, whose founder was JJ Beasley.
I could be totally wrong though. Anyone have infomation?

Colnago Mexico repainted

Is this the good kind of flite?

Seller wants €25, worth it?

Looks like this one, so that would be a yes? http://www.ebay.com/itm/281273837016

Hello again, forum has all changed! Have been riding this as a beater but now thinking it might deserve a restoration. Thought it might have connections to Gillott with the sleeved brake bridge and forward-backward dropouts, but the lugwork looks like Falcon. Frame number is 35308, most likely 531 double butted. Thoughts welcome!




Thank You

there is different rear brake cable routing in mexico. maybe some later variation? is it possible?

Hi guys, would anybody be able to help me find out what chainring this is. Cheers in advance. I know it is Shitmano but if anyone knows the exact model number or anything that would be great.

Look L96 Speed, dura ace 144 but printed with shimano logo instead, thought it was a TT ring?
The cranks are more interesting, they come with the bike and by adjusting the bolt you change how long they are, very stiff carbon one piece

Hello,

I recently bought a frame from Hillary Stone which was painted yellow with "Steve Lawrence" on the side.

However, the only thing i can find on Steve Lawrence is that he was a cyclist from the 70's and 80's. There was a sticker on the down tube above the usual Reynolds tubing sticker which said Steve Lawrence Cycles. I cant find anything on Steve Lawrence Cycles so im assuming he was not the frame builder so i wonder if this frame was made for him?

It is Reynolds 531 double butted tubing with Campagnolo drop outs. The only thing that resembles a serial number is 175 printed on the BB. It has really nice tight geometry and is generally what i believe to be a very nicely built frame.

Maybe some of you experts out there might recognise the lugs or something and maybe point me in the right direction.

Basically i would quite like to be true to the frame and give it its original makers decals when i re paint it.

Im not expecting much so any information will be greatly appreciated.

Ill post the picture of the frame before stripping and then some details of the lugs etc. too.

Thanks!

You are right about the cabling, maybe customised ? Tubing and fork are similar to my Mexico.

maybe some next gen. or sth like that.

I see what you mean about Gillott-style brake bridge,

The only reason I'd be skeptical that this is a Gillott is the chunkiness of the lugs. Gillott was well known for his attention to detail on lug filing, and most of his frames that I've seen have really nicely feathered lugs (e.g. mine)....

your frame is evidently a 40's/50's lightweight, but my guess would be a bigger volume producer (e.g. Holdsworth, Claud Butler, Freddy Grubb, Dawes, Raleigh etc).
The curved brake bridge is not exclusive to Gillott, here's a pic of a Freddy Grubb for example...

I agree, not a Gillott but hoping the sleeved bridge would narrow it down. Another distinctive feature is the seat stay, unlike most other as it is not a wrap around, fast back or flat cap

Indeed - very long and slender - this frame shouldn't be too hard to id. do you have a frame number and if so, where on the frame is it?

for me, gut feel is still freddy grubb.
here's one from a quick google image search -
similar bridge and stays.

First posting although I have been a member for a while.

Please can you assist me identify the model, year of manufacture and what type of tubing was used for my Bianchi frame.

Unfortunately the frame was obtained in this stripped down condition and I don't have any idea as to the paint work (other than it was painted in celeste), decals, etc. After spending the weekend Googling and going through all the info I think the frame was a lower spec early 80's Bianchi but don't know when the Bianchi logo was changed on the seat stays. The frame doesn't appear to have been nickel plated like my Super Leggera.

Please if you can also advise the place of manufacture, i.e. Italy, Japan it will be appreciated.

The frame number is 2888 on right of BB and 9 . G on the left with Bianchi in the middle.

It has 27mm seat post and Gipiemme rear dropouts. Forks dropouts are not stamped. Has 36 x 24T BB. Other distinguishing items are three top tube cable guides, bottle cage mounts on both down and seat tube. Rear gear cable guide is on the bottom of the stay.

The frame size is 53cm (seat tube 52cm centre to centre, top tube length 53cm).

I tried to send a message to Bianchi.com but received a message failure report.

Many thanks for any any assistance you are able to provide.

P.S. The frame appeared to have been sandblasted without taking the stem, headset and seat post off and hence the stem and seat post were properly seized. I had to destroy a nice Cinelli stem and busy cutting & filing the bits out of the fork and seat tube and lug.

What fork is that?

Going by this pic from the same album it looks like the stock fork which is a resprayed Alpina F04, according to this webshop.
