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            PRICE £95 each

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!

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 Chainset

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

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.

 

Sport F.mech

Sport F.mech

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!

 

De Rosa Chainset

DE ROSA SUPER RECORD CHAINSET

One of the last production unfluted Super Record chainsets engraved DE ROSA above the chainring cut-outs.  Cranks are 170mm. rings 42/52.  

I had a set panto Bianchi above the top bolt and another panto COLNAGO above each bolt.
