What size top tube are you after?

61cm, centre to top - seat tube
58cm, centre to centre - top tube

Too big?

Thanks Colin,

she rides like a dream. Very sure, and in straight line, like an automatic car!

I'm now sorted.

Thanks guys.

Dibs Dura Ace cleats PM coming

On the rear dropout there should be a serial number. Email that to Colnago in Italy and they'll tell you the year.

Beautiful frames, but with Christmas coming up, maybe better to sell in Spring?

Finished finally! Fork thread issues solved.
She's been built up with parts from my stripped Colnago Master Olympic, and is an age-old ambition...to own what Roger De Vlaeminck rode! The handling is super sure, very comfortable and it looks stunning in the flesh. I went with Athena 11 as one of the few modern groupsets that compliments classic / vintage frames, and I haven't ridden downtube shifters since I was 13!!!

Snake,

what kind of film (....people are thinking...porn movie in my flat...no way José! The name "snake" doesn't help either!)

More details please?

Gentlemen and Ladies,

what angle quill stem do I need that will have it parallel with the ground/TT?

thanks in advance

Your help is needed gentlemen re the thread on the Super Record fork. We can't get any headset onto it. We've tried English thread, Italian thread and standard ISO as well. Nothing will go more than a quarter turn. It's a brand new fork from Gios in Italy, and the LBS hasn't messed it up in any way. The thread looks perfect, but the headsets simply won't screw on.

Other than sending it back, is there something I'm missing?

Thanks Colin!

Ditto on the bottle stickers!

The cleaning and corrosion treatments are finished, so I applied the new decals late last night. Later this morning I'm off to the LBS to stand around commenting and drinking coffee, whilst pretending I'm helping, as they strip my Colnago Master Olympic and hang the groupset onto the Torino.

Nice find. I've sent a pic to Marco Gios and will see what he says as well.

The original forks are so hard to come by, especially in uncut size. The head tube on my frame is nigh on 200 mm long!

Another question. Head badges. I have two of the blue head bages that are self adhesive, and two of the white ones that require rivets.

Where can I get some rivets that will fit and leave clearance for the headtube?

Re the wrongly positioned decals, I bought the frame from Holland and realised the decals were wrongly positioned as soon as I saw them.

Marco Gios confirmed it's a 1980 Torino Super Record, and as mentioned, one of the few chrome models still in one piece!

I bought various Bilt Hamber products to treat the frame for rust/corrosion internally and externally.

The LBS checked out the frame and confirmed that there is no internal corrosion, but there are 4-5 small rust spots externally, so I'll take no chances.

I am having a set of decals made in blue that will include the TT decal with cut out for the cable guide. The original Torino Super record decals with TT cut out are white, but I think blue will look better.

I haven't ridden downtube shifters since the 1980s, and I don't much fancy it until next years Eroica! In the meantime she'll wear and silver Campagnolo Athena 11 groupset with silver Ambrosio Excellence wheels.

This is what she looks like right now waiting for her treatment tomorrow and Wednesday!

Gone?

Can you tell me about the groupset?
Compact or 53/39?
Cassette ratio?
Crank Arm length?

Would you sell the groupset separately? If so, how much would you want for it?

Thanks.

This frame is going: 61cm Seat tube, 58cm Top Tube.

How long do you need the steerer to be?

Just bought this "naked" Super Record frame, having checked with Marco Gios to verify it's real. The fork isn't a Gios, it's a Zeus, but the seller told me that anyway.

I can't make up my mind whether to just polish and fit blue decals, or have it repainted in original blue.

If it were a Colnago, I'd be in like Flynn!

Anybody got a Big steel Colnago Frame? Preferably something with 130 OLN.

Delicious...but unfortunately not 11 speed, or I'd bite your hand off.
