I'm voting for the orange bike!

It may not be racing in the grand "derbies", but it isn't a plow horse either!

Carbon Cinelli Ram same bar propping up my Bulgarian paratrooper helmet just before mounting; weird enough combination?

Just when I thought we exhausted the "orange crush"! Nice to see an old 3 speed amongst the thoroughbreds.

Jesper's '72/'73 Crescent Pepita Sorry for a repeat, entered a couple months ago; but I like orange too so keeping with the informal theme that has developed. My next build (mid '70s Chesini Super Special) is not quite there (not orange either) due to extreme difficulty finding some original...

Since this bike is probably my "Grail" bike (and a bit of an investment), and will be rarely be ridden; I will keep the delta brakes with the frame. Those brakes have never been used, and I thought about selling them to help with the cost of the frame and parts since they were about 1/2 of the...

"NOS" Carbitubo frameset from shop display bike. Stored for 25 years stripped of parts except matching C Record delta brakes. Obtained 3 years ago, now getting ready to assemble after gathering parts (carbon Record 10 group, Ritchey carbon bar and stem); still need desired wheels (have Ksyrium...

Thanks folks for again showing where you live and ride. I really like the two sun shots; one looking like something from The Lord of the Rings middle Earth. Sorry, I rarely carry a camera while riding; no room in tool bag since tools & tube trump camera!

Far from the first carbon bike from Colnago. Their first was a prototype circa 1981, C35 monocoque frame production in 1989, and a single down tube alloy lugged CF frame prior to the twin down tube Carbitubo which was introduced circa 1991. All of those frames are fairly rare, many made for pros...

That one is long gone; before the photo shoot was complete. There may be another in the chill box, want one sent on over? I'd do it for free just to let folks try some of our local brews. @Peachy, thanks for being the advocate for the month! That as much as the bike earned you my vote. Great...

Original paint and decals as sold when new. 121mm rear fork. I would presume a 5 speed, but the previous owner provided information that it had a 5 speed FW with Campagnolo Record drivetrain.

Old Fiorelli made Coppi frameset with DALLA LIBERA decals. Fork crown has Coppi inserts. Italian threaded steerer and BB shell (70mm). Dalla Libera bike shop sold bikes in the region (Latina, Italy) with their own branding. I cannot find a similar fork on any 70's Coppi or Fiorelli bikes, only...

I wanted to add a note about the headbadge since it is not like the actual badge for the same year bike of a larger size. My headbadge is missing the crescent "C's" on the left and right sides due to the frame being too small for them to fit with the headtube lugs being so close together.

Any luck with this frame ID? What type of BB threads?

It appears that there are alphanumerics on the BB shell below the NERVEX stamp. Your number found already could have a different significance depending on the brand. Have you measured the BB shell width and determined the BB threading? Also, do you know what the seat pin diameter is? I don't...

Nice build! Looks like a race bike again and not a commuter. That is an interesting bar set-up; it really updates the bike, and ties in nicely with the aero seat post, pedals, and rear derailleur. I think the stem is "Status" or "Evol"; I would have to check. If not for the fork crown it would...
