I'm looking at two catalogs from my collection of literature:

Cinelli: Mod. 1A was available in lengths from 8cm to 14cm; Mod. 1 (steel w/badge) was available from 7 to 14; Mod. 1 (steel w/o badge "plain type") from 6 to 14; Mod. 3 "Sprint" (steel track) from 9 to 14; Mod. 4 "Stayer" (steel, adjustable track) from ...duh..

3ttt: mod. 1 Record Strada from 60 to 140 mod. 2 Record Pista (64d) in 110 and 120 only mod. 3 Record Pista (58d) in 110 and 120 only mod. 78 Record Strada, no specs given - to new and not in production at time of catalog printing?? Record Regolabile, adjustable, similar to Ambrosio version seen on ebay lately. Record Doppio Girevole, double revolving adjustable (kind that you can flip the handle bar clamp piece to have bars over or more typically under the stems piller on which it slides/adjusts.

Intersting that Cinelli uses a capitol "M" in Mod. while 3ttt uses a lower case "m" in mod. Also, Cinelli uses cm as the measure while 3ttt uses mm.

Two companies trying every way to differentiate themselves from one another or does it have to do with the region of Italy they were each from?

Eric Elman Somers, CT love to collect literature - anyone have some old stuff they want to part with?
