Bought it, received wrong pedal - strada instead of pista. I find it kinda funny at the same time - he could've sent me anything, bricks, potatoes, whatever. But instead of that, I got a nice looking campy super record strada right pedal, smh XD
I'm in the process of returning it, and if everything goes well, I'll receive what I actually paid for. Fingers crossed, guys.
This came in a couple of days ago. It's a 1989 Romet Super. I literally had no idea they existed in that particular geometry - I've only seen lo-pro versions so far (pic). Thes are pretty interesting, as the entire frame is built using Columbus SL tubes, however the fork crown (and blades, I suppose - you know, that metric/imperial thing) is Reynolds. Steerer is Columbus. This was common practice in 1989 for road and track versions, both standard and lo-pro geometry. Note the uncommon decals on the l0-pro - the seat tube decal has an outline of Poland with a dot located where Bydgoszcz is - that's where the main factory was.
Said crown:
The rear triangle is also different from other Super frames. The bridge has no reinforcing plates where it meets the stays and the stay caps are more narrow and somewhat subtle.
Interesting geometry, too. The space between the down tube and the wheel is pretty big.
This one is going to have white-blue fades, hopefully along with those obscure decals.
