MY 57 c-c PARAMOUNT 50TH IS FOR SALE. With the two new bikes that I just bought (the Super and Specialissima), I am over my self-imposed 10 bike limit. So if you are interested in my Paramount 50th, send me a message. (Posted September 28, 2007)
ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION! The newest addition is a 1983-84 Bianchi Specialissima. (Posted September 28, 2007)
I've decided to track the sale prices of NOS Campagnolo 50th Anniversary gruppos on eBay and I've created a page with a price history table. If you have info you can contribute, please let me know. (Posted September 9, 2007)
MY PHOTOS ARE ON THE OFFICIAL COLNAGO WEBSITE! Check them out here. I'm definitely honored, even if they didn't ask for permission or acknowledge me ) I think they got my pics from Rouleur magazine, which used some of my pics (with permission) for a two-page photo spread. Rouleur was nice enough to give me credit, so I am now officially a published photographer! (Posted September 10, 2007)
As part of my Merckx Molteni Replica project, I created two pages about drilling and countersinking. There's one page for the CHAIN RING I did, and another for the BRAKE LEVERS.
I polished quite a bit of parts for my De Rosa, so I decided to put together a polishing page showing you how I polish aluminum alloy parts.
POLISHING SERVICES. For those of you who don't have the time, space or inclination to do your own polishing, I will be glad to do it for you for a reasonable fee. Contact me for a "polishing consultation."

Stuff I Need
Don't laugh, but I would like to find a pair of Clement yellow label Criteriums, or Campione del Mondos, in good to excellent condition. Setas would be very nice, but regulars would be fine. Let me know if you can help. (Posted November 7, 2007)
For my new Bianchi Specialissima, a pantographed seat post which looks like this.
Gios pantographed shifters and brake levers (Campagnolo Nuovo or Super Record).
I'm looking for information on the history of the Cinelli Laser. There is a Cinelli brochure from the mid 80's with photos and descriptions of the different Laser models. If anyone has that brochure, please contact me. I would be most grateful. Also, if you you have info on the origins of the Laser, who designed it and when, etc., I'd love to hear from you.

I want to thank the following people for their help in sourcing parts for this bike: Nick Zatezalo, Hon Lee, Phil Sieg and Ken Denny. I hope I didn't forget to mention anybody - if I did, please let me know.
I took photos of the frameset
and close-ups of the bb shell
when I first got it in August 2005, so some of the experts on the C.R. list could use them to help me confirm the date of the frame. The consensus is that it could be as early as 1972, but not later than 1974. It was sold to me as a 74, so that's what I'm calling it. My thanks to Tom Sanders, Jack Gabus, Bob Hovey, John Jorgensen and Brian Baylis for their help in dating the frame.
