too many things on my head now so I've decided I'm not going to restore it myself . Thanks all for the comments. I've learned a lot from the 60's but off it goes to ebay...

Went today to check the feasiblity to replace the rear dropouts, as the one on the right had been repaired in the past. Although I already have the replacement ones the conclusion is: too costly ! -> will stay like this . Seems quite strong, not so bad looking and the wheel has a good alignment...

Indeed! During my research, different people have told me that Rik Van Looy rode Masi, and not only in the track. Some time later Merckx quoted in an interview that one of his earliest objectives was also to ride frames made in Belgium, so he started with Kessel.... But that's another story.

Tubbing seems columbus; 1st time I see this nice dove engraved in the top tube!

Cleaning afternoon showed what I believe is a first generation Campagnolo Record bottom bracket spindle. It came also with the first gent 151 BCD crankset . That adds some concerns to me dating the frame from mid-late 60's, but cinelli timeline says oil hole in the bb was removed mid 60's and...

Thanks, yes, that's a very good source of info indeed. Unfortunately none of the bikes there have the cinelly seat lug. Also I haven't found any pic anywhere of their Main d'Or bikes with the cinelly seat lug. But it is clearly seen on the Eddy Merckx Superia ....

Some more reading suggests Belgium pro riders from the 60's ordered their frames directly from their preferred frame builders. N.F. on the bottom bracket I still believe stands for Nöel Foré, and the bike is from 1966, 1967 or 1968 according cinelli design of bb and absence of lug holes. He...

Re: 60's Cinelli Mod B Project - Nöel Foré & Precisia bikes ? I've been reading a lot now around the 60's period , and got some ideas: NF initials could be from Nöel Foré, (the seller told me the bike was owned by a pro rider around 1967-68). In 1967, Nöel Foré rode for Superia-Precisia...

Hi After some (long) time just making room , finally keeping just THE bike (a 1994 Pinarello Banesto - sorry but I had to mention it ;) I was tempted to start a new project when I could buy what seemed to be a Cinelli Mod B. So here I am again, hoping to be honour the forum with nice...

Thanks for the comments! Definitelly quitting classic bikes hobby, so this one will have to go for sale as well ;(

I love the spumoni in original paint... very italian colours ;) Congrats for your bikes

I'm selling mines in VGC here: https://www.ebay.es/itm/202849470527 250 euro. I believe are valid for 10 and 11 speed also , but not sure, I'll need to check...

I believe mistery is solved now ... (or almost ;) As I'm selling the bike , I was really intrigued and wanted to get the full picture, as I really though in the begining it was an SLX montello, and never actually saw an SL one. So I bought a kind of cheap endoscope, to be able to look inside...

I was noted that the generic columbus sticker could indicate a SL Montello, not SLX, so I've removed the BB this afternoon and I coud notice the riffling on seat tube and chainstains, but not on main tube. I took some pics but don't see any riffle there, but as said, I can feel them when I touch...

Hi Oldfireleg Just checked this afternoon.... quite surprising, I coud notice the riffling on seat tube and chainstains, but not on main tube. From another forum, I've read there were some SL frames with the SLX seat tube, as this preceded the SLX tubesets and such frames used the generic...

I'm selling a couple of Pinarello (Treviso GPX and Paris alu), and more things ... https://www.ebay.es/itm/202823960811 https://www.ebay.es/itm/202823955924

Here it is, with Dura Ace 7400. I'm not saying it looks better than campy, but this is just about personal preference... I was saving this Due saddle for it, but definitelly not my shape and had to go back to the flite. I could fit a 13-34 cassette with a rear mech hanger extension. So far...

Worth to give it a try then ;) I'll check and post results! Thanks.

normally yes, but uniglide ones need this tool. Unfortunatelly I've already fitted the axle, so can not take pics, but that's the tool:

Thanks , but it seems that's not the case for old 7400 uniglide hubs where a special tool is needed .. So far, I've fitted a pair of 7850 dura ace wheels, just because I'm in a hurry to test the new build this weekend... I'll put some pics on the other thread (cinelli columbus max). In the...
