Subject: [CR]FS: 58 cm '84 Marinoni Special

I'm likely picking this bike up in the next few days, it's extremely nice and unfortunately too large for me, but I'm posting this note to the list to see if there is anyone here that would like it. I do not have pictures of it but hope to in the not too distant future. Please send me a note if this bike interests you.

As complete a description as I can muster follows:

1984 Marinoni Special, 58 cm c-c (60 cm c-t) seat tube, 57 cm c-c top tube. Columbus SP, silver metallic paint, black decals with gold outlining, full chrome fork with a sloping crown, red maple leaf and black Marinoni engraved on the crown, red maple leaf on the headtube/downtube lug, long point lugs. Paint seems to be in excellent condition and I did not notice any paint chips. If there are any they weren't noticeable. Marinoni engraved on the seatstay caps, and an black M in a circle on the top of the rear brake bridge. Campy dropouts, chrome faces. Chrome drive chainstay. Braze-ons: Three top tube cable guides, FD hanger, RD cable stop on the chainstay. Shifter bosses. Under BB cable guides (I think) M cut-out in the BB. Single or double water bottle bosses I don't recall, double I think, but only one cage was mounted.

Complete Campy Superleggeri, 170 mm cranks, 53/42, with perfect dustcaps. Black SL pedals, with Campy alloy toe clips, Marinoni black leather toe straps, and white REG strap buttons. Super Record front and rear derailleurs, and downtube shifters. Regina 6 speed FW (close ratio but I didn't count it), Campy Record low flange hubs, 36 hole, laced to Ambrosio Synthesis Durex hard anodized Super Professional rims. Straight gauge S brand (I think it was hard to see) stainless spokes, 3x. Original Wolber tubular tires. I suspect not really rideable, but they looked ok, I didn't get to put any air in them. Campy record brakes (block lettering on the arms), with plastic covered wheel guides, world logo hoods that are dry but not cracked, and levers that are unscratched. I think the chain was also a Regina. I assumed the BB to be a Campy as well.

Campy single bolt seatpost 27.2mm with a suede black Bernard Hinault Turbo saddle. SR headset, Cinelli bars (new logo but I don't recall the model or width, not Criteriums, probably 42 wide) and Cinelli stem (I think 90 or 100 mm, the 1R model). Silver brake cable housing. Metallic silver Bike Ribbon bar tape that matched the paint very well. Campy seatpost binder bolt. Marinoni/Silca (I think it was a Silca, it may have been a copy) black frame fit hand pump.

The bike is reported to have approximately 100 km on it and from all appearances I suspect that's true, there's no noticeable wear on the rim sidewalls and besides being dusty and having some bug guts on it from a roof rack ride the bike is pristine.

Asking $900 US or best offer, shipping extra.
