Yep, that was my posting...
I was posting for my mom, who thought it was a Cinelli. When I received feedback from people browsing the ebay auction that it was not, I revised then dropped the auction so as to not mislead anyone into buying something that I found out it was not. So now, I'm trying to find out what it actually IS. And it won't be reposted for auction, since it seems it's more worthwhile to hang on to it as a cool old bike than to get fifty or a hundred dollars for it. shrug For $400, she was going to sell it as she is moving and getting rid of 20+ years of accumulated 'stuff' in her house. I still don't' know what it IS, and am not trying to pass one over on you all. Just honestly hoping someone knew what it was. A separate post says it's a DiCampli Super Corsa, which is what the sticker says, but the discussion continues to say that euro manufacturers used to sell bikes to US shops to be rebranded... (and thanks for that post, it does help settle my mind) I guess what I'm trying to figure out would be who made the bike, not who branded it, although that seems much more difficult the more I hear. Finally, unfortunately for me, I'm not 'playing' dumb. I seriously don't know much about bikes and am trying to find out as much as possible. Not just about this bike, but in general. Dave "David L.

Well, that's no big deal...although it would probably be a good idea to seek a better bike shop, at least one that is familiar with modern tubulars and could show him how to mount them. Evidently since that bike shop didn't carry them, the bike shop people felt they no longer exist in the world anymore. Silliness, I say. -- Rick Onanian |

"Blah" concluded: I guess what I'm trying to figure out would be who made the bike, not who branded it, although that seems much more difficult the more I hear. Without contacting your mom's old boyfriend, the shape and cut-outs of the lugs are the best clues to its possible origins. Finally, unfortunately for me, I'm not 'playing' dumb. I seriously don't know much about bikes and am trying to find out as much as possible. Not just about this bike, but in general. You can type sheldonbrown.com/ into your browser and find out almost everything about bicycles, in general and detail. -- zk |
