Well wear! Ditto on bike stand...!

Re: A warning. Please read. Got prompted over here by TGR on your Raleigh thread HM. Don't know you from Adam, of course, but I wish you the very best! Glad to hear you're in good hands as well as on the road to recovery. As for the photographed "self-rescue" back home...what can I say! "Hardy...

OK, TGR, got the brief! Thanks!

"Much better service when you arrive in a company vehicle." One would imagine so - but it does beg the question "How come?" Hope all is well!

"...Decals arrived. Christening today. Gerald..." Don't forget the camera!

"...opposite levers" I'm glad you mentioned that - I was hoping I'd have an opportunity to ask! With apologies for an off-thread question, is there a protocol with regard to right or left side front brake? I always thought it was right side but I seem to have ended up with a mixed selection...

I was too quick with my summary there - among the "unserviceable" bits is the Colnago chainset after the right-side crank broke. I replaced it with a Gipiemme item at the time which, curiously, was the only one I could find that would take the Colnago chainrings which I assumed were Campg-based...

Thanks for that, bikenut! Rest assured, the flames of my interest have been well and truly fanned, espcially since I found and registered for this site. As noted in an earlier post, I'm in Dublin at the moment recovering after knee surgery so, when I get back, hopefully in two weeks time, I...

Cheers, bikenut - I thought about that but as I wanted something to ride as well, I figured I'd leave it for the time being. I'm not under any illusion about it, it's a mid-level spec with some nice kit on it which is all in good order. He wanted €250 for it but, after a bit of "discussion", I...

Yes, it does seem a little out of the way stuck up there but that's where it is. The rear brake bridge has the Cinelli stamp on it. The fork is steel and the left side has a Columbus sticker on it which I don't have a picture of right now. Rear dropouts are Campag but nothing stamped on the...

Thanks, colnagolover! I'll go back to the shop and find out more when I get back to Italy - currently in Dublin recovering from knee surgery which, incidentally, I'd no idea was imminent when I went out to buy a bike. So my modest investment is probably more appropriate in the circumstances...

Very good, Shayne, thanks again! I appreciate the information. I went into the shop to start pricing new bikes, planning to treat myself in the New Year once I'd determined how much I might have left over once the taxman had been paid (less than I had expected, as it happens!) and saw this on...

Thanks for that, Shayne! What are the key identifiers?

I came across this recently on the second-hand stand outside a bike/sports shop near where I live these days in a small town northwest of Milan. From what I've read here on the forum, some of the Campag experts may be able to date it for me from the kit fitted to it. Acting completely on the...
