I
will split the Holdsworth if
someone wants a 'vintage' steel
frame. I
also have this road frame below, 24" centre to top,
suit 700 wheels, long point
lugs with cutouts, BSC BB thread,
126.5mm width of rear ends, pip
under downtube for lever band,
Campa gear cable guides on top of
BB, chainstay stop, nice
condition chrome fork with Tange
headset. Both have average cond.
paint, no dents or dings. The Colnago stickers
should be ignored, the same may apply to the
Holdsworth. I am
selling them as reasonable
condition road frames and no suggestion of
actual builder. Having road ends
to adjust chain length will make
them suitable for fixed wheel

GRAMAGLIA
PISTA~NUOVO RECORD CHAINSET,
PEDALS LARGE FLANGE HUBS, SEATPOST,
HEADSET. CINELLI STEEL BARS/STEM.
BALILLA TOECLIPS. SHOWN AS FOUND. THE SELLER
SAID THAT GRAMAGLIA HAD A WORKSHOP
IN BAGGIO, MILAN AND HAD BUILT
FRAMES FOR TONI MASPES, BEPPE OGNE SANTE AND
GAIARDONI. THIS IS A LOVELY
BIKE OF ITS TYPE. THE CHROME IS
NOT PERFECT-ITS USED AND
PRESUMABLY HAS SEEN SOME FIERCE
COMPETITION
I
have been given the following
information on Gramaglia by one of
my Milanese friends. Shop
address was v.Forze Armate 401,
Zona Baggio, Milano and he also
owned, apparently, Cicli Auro.
His 'stock' colour as they seem to
have, was green-as Gios blue,
Bianchi celeste etc. Gramaglia
started around 1940 and ceased
trading on 31st December 1975, he
died during 2002. No chance of
finding any decals!

GIOS
EX-PRO TEAM BIKE 58cm CENTRE TO
TOP. I BOUGHT THIS DIRECTLY FROM
THE GIOS FACTORY AT THE END OF
2004 SEASON WHEN THEY TAKE BACK
THE MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT FROM
THE TEAMS. THIS ONE WAS RIDDEN BY
MATTEO CAPPE' WHO DISTINGUISHED
HIMSELF IN TOUR OF QATAR!
FULL RECORD 10SPD CARBON GROUP
WITH EURUS WHEELS
I
WILL LISTEN TO OFFERS STARTING
WITH £2XXX FOR THE GIOS. I HAVE THE GRAMAGLIA PISTA
BUT AM NOT DESPERATE TO
SELL-UNLESS I RECEIVE THE
PROVERBIAL OFFER I CANNOT REFUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF
YOU ARE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION
OR EASILY OFFENDED, DO NOT SCROLL
DOWN FURTHER!!
I
SPOTTED THIS BIKE OUTSIDE A SHOP
AND JUST GOES TO SHOW THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW WE WOULD
VALUE A CLASSIC ROAD BIKE AND THIS
OWNER WHO USED IT BASICALLY TO
SAVE WALKING AROUND HIS
TOWN. YOU CAN SEE FROM THESE
THREE PICS THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY
A DECENT BIKE WITH THE
PANTOGRAPHING, INTERNAL CABLES,
SLOTTED EVEREST CHAIN AND THE NR
CALIPERS WITH FLAT QR
LEVERS. THE 'BARS HAD BEEN
CHANGED TO FLAT/CITY AND THIS
CHAINGUARD FITTED. THE
BACK OF THE CRANK HAD BEEN
MACHINED OFF TO PROVIDE EXTRA
CLEARANCE AND A TAG BRAZED TO THE
SEATSTAY INSTEAD OF A CLIP.
THE CHAINGUARD HAD BEEN CAREFULLY
WORKED TO CLEAR THE FRONT MECH.
THE
WILIER WITH SUPER RECORD GROUP
BELOW WAS BEING USED IN MUCH THE
SAME WAY BUT THE OWNER HADN'T GOT
ROUND TO FITTING A CHAINGUARD--YET
I
ALSO SAW A SHABBY COLNAGO WITH THE
REMAINS OF 50th ANNIVERSARY GROUP
ON IT, I THINK I WAS SO SHOCKED BY
ITS' APPEARANCE I WASN'T QUICK
ENOUGH WITH THE CAMERA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
Colnago Mexico with the indented
tubes, and remains of Super Record
group-even the freewheel is Campa.
The head of the right crank has
been slightly modified by
tapering/rounding off. It happened
to arrive in a workshop for two
new tubs whilst I was there and I
almost surreptitiously took the
pics hence they aren't that sharp,
but if they were better, you would
only weep more

Colnago
6 arm chainset
An
immaculate example of this
particularly scarce
component.
It is likely this has
been fitted to a show bike
as there are faint signs of
pedals having been screwed
in-but no chain wear.
The cranks are 170mm
with 36/53 rings.
The only other known
model on show at: www.classicrendezvous.com
(Italy/Colnago)
has the Ambrosio impression
at the head of the crank.
This one does not and
has no indication of
manufacturer. It
is unlikely to have been
made by anyone other than
Ambrosio.

Record
pedals-all black finish
A
pair of Record Superleggeri
pedals which have been
completely anodised black
including the dustcaps.
The spindles are
normal chromed steel.
Not in any factory
catalogues that I have seen
yet.

Campagnolo
Sport Front Mech #1011
Introduced
late 1953 and first
appearing in catalogo 12.
This example is
totally mint unused
condition and was found on a
workshop shelf.
Regrettably no box
was available but obtaining
the mech itself was a bonus!
