The black seat and tape on my Cinelli SuperCorsa (see post #22) was a nod to the color scheme of the famous Cinelli Laser Pursuit Pista bike of the 1980's. In fact, you can buy a picture of one on a t-shirt at this web site - http://www.wingedstore.com/t-shirts/laser-38.html Also, the Laser bike is on the cover of a book about the history of Cinelli - https://www.amazon.com/Cinelli-Bicycle-Lodovico-Pignatti-Morano/dp/0847838676 In addition, there was a re-release of the Laser in this color scheme by Cinelli in a limited run in 2012 - https://cyclepista.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/2012-cinelli-laser-track-bike/
My bike was shown in post #22 on the first page of this thread, and it rides great. The Cinelli SuperCorsa is the oldest bike frame in continuous production and is a classic. The bike shown above in post #138 was a limited run 2012 re-release of the Cinelli Laser track bike and is not mine. If you would like to see other pictures of my bike, here is the link - https://www.flickr.com/photos/76452700@N05/ If you click on a picture, you can see a component list for the bike. The particular drivetrain that I chose for my SuperCorsa was so I could get the lower gearing that I needed because of my age and the hills in my area. In my opinion, right now the best looking drivetrain for a vintage type steel bike is the Campagnolo Athena 11-speed group in silver aluminum finish. That drivetrain can be seen on my Mercian bike on the same web page as my Cinelli.
