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

Gian Paolo Cucchietti was a former pro-cyclist who started building hand-crafted road bicycles in 1971. The company still produces custom road bicycles in Cuneo, Italy.

You should drop them an email to get the information directly

@midlife: It says 'Thronic' on the teat tube but when googling this type of tubing nothing that similar seems to show up. Bit suspicious that the decal could have been added on afterwards

@Vince: I was emailing a guy called Giorgio from Cucchietti and managed to get hold of some old decals because i'm probably going to get it resprayed soon. I did ask on a couple of occasions about the tubing type but he managed to dodge that part of my email both times!!

Is this like yours?

Maxium de Rosa was fluted as was Oria Ml 25.

@midlife Hmmm that one is somewhat similar but it seems to have only one crimp on the side... also the crimp doesn't appear to finish as sharply. I found these images of a Colnago Regal Arabesque that had a very similar shape with what looks to be 6 crimps in cross section, i'm kind of guessing here though!

Hey guys! Anyone recognize this “e” panto?
The fork is matched to a steel track frame with Colnago lugs. Nothing in the BB except a few numbers.
Thanks for looking!

Hi there , picked up this weird lo pro, had a Shimano 600 groupset on it with campagnolo dropouts

It is badged as a specialized but I cannot find any information on them ever making one?

Maybe the pantographing on the fork somebody recognises?

It's an Enik from north rhine westphalia in Germany. They made nice frames and equipped some (semi?)-professional race teams afaik. Here's a nice one

Hey, thanks so much for that super speedy reply!

It's been in someone's shed for quite some time so it needs stripping back, I'll have to look for some proper decals now.

Many thanks again!

No worries, welcome to the forum and good luck with the restoration!

Current project thread please!

Picked up these two track bikes today from a neighbour, not at expert in older frames, so any more info would be much appreciated. One is a holdsworth made worthy? From the early fifties my guess? The other is a soviet frame perhaps 70s-80s?

Let me know if other pictures would be helpful

Soviet one will be an XB3 Rekord, I think and pretty sure it is 70s with those lugs.

It might have the same odd sizing as my 80s one, which is 26mm steerer, 27mm crown race, 30.4mm cups and bottom bracket with right-handed threads on both sides and Campag tapers. Nothing a bit of mix and match can’t resolve when it comes to it, but try and look after the originals.

@gintas_ce has quite some XB3/Soviet parts IIRC.

Frame number for Holdsworth (normally on BB) would give an age. Also close ups of Head tube, Seat tube top and bottom lugs will help ID the model.

Any idea, which Dura Ace this is? I thought 7400, but on the inner side its just stampepd shimano 170. Normally the number is there?

Isn't that the cranks with the oversize pedals / Dyna Drive so an AX version of something?

(I think AX has blue typeface and says AX)

Ah thanks. So I’ll don’t buy them. Still searching for 7400s

Anyone know what this could be? Shame about the paint, but im going to strip and get it repainted (open to suggestions) Seat tube bolt says is chromoly made in Italy, and it came with a mixture of vintage campy components and a stronglight crank, mavic rims. So I'm thinking Italian tourer, but it's possible those were all additions. Serial number under bb is 1801

Has a Nigel Dean look about it, light boss on the right fork would suggest made for riding on the left?

Possibly an obvious question. But what BB threading?
