MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

I like his cx merckx as well. Don't see many of those around.

Managed to sneak in another Italian before year end, Cinelli Supercorsa with 20 speed Campag.

Shame about the Daytona levers, but i forgive you because that's a beautiful bike

Thanks, nothing wrong with Daytona levers tho, they operate just like Chorus bit maybe a tad heavier. These were barely used and I got them for a fraction of the cost decent 10 speed Chorus shifters goes for, so was a no brainer.

A beaut! Lively blue colour. How old's that frame?

I think Cinelli called that colour China Blue.
It’s very good condition and I bet it rides nice.

It's Columbus SLX New so figure it's early to mid 90s?

I'm not familiar with Cinelli serial numbers, but if they're un-Italian and logical for a change, and some of the numbers on the BB shell actually correspond to years then maybe 95:)

Keep it hidden. :)

Correct, first two digits are the year of manufacture.

Thanks, that's the first italian bike I've owned that has such a common sense system :)

Oh yeh that's just me being picky on parts and models. I'm pretty sure their almost identical, I've fixed a few and had centaur/chorus/daytona and apart from updates to the plastic or the mechanism can't tell the difference!

I’m a Cinelli fanboy and son of a Cinelli fanboy.
My father was born on the same day as Cino Cinelli, imagine that!
We visited the shop in the 70s.
As far as I remember there were a few builders on site and a few outside contractors. Every single one had their own numbering system. So there was no overall system at all.
When Antonio Colombo took over he made the company a lot more businesslike and well organized.

Looking good .

Does anyone own an MGOOF with mudguards, and/or a bike rack? I'm interested in building an old steel frame up into the ultimate commuter, was wondering if I could find some inspiration here

Jambon had a great one.

Functional bikes would yield more results.

This thread trends towards road bikes, which given the age will be lucky to fit 28mm.

That is nice.

That is very nice! Way too stylish for a bourgeois rapha bottle.

There was a guu who put 650 wheels on his road bike can't remember his user name. But that was sick and allowed for bigger tyres and mudguards

Was it a rim brake bike?

Yes, I think. I forget who it was.

The bikes would implode if he´d ride them now. 😉

Look at « concours de machines ». Many examples there. Or Alex Singer website.

Sounds like somthing @Sig_Arlecchino could do.
