Well gang, this bike is most likely the frame my brother bought new from the Turin shop in Chicago about '75 or '76. I was with him at the time, and all we knew was there was a big shipment of Colnagos that had come in the day before, one of which was a 57cm track bike that my brother had special ordered. It was unexpected that this bike was in Merckx/Molteni colors, and the staff at Turin flipped out when they say and kind of didn't want my brother to get it, but he'd already paid. Anyway, my brother Mike later traded this bike to Cecil Behringer for one of Cecil's road bike frames (a very bad move in my opinion). I have to think that this is the same damn bike and I've always wondered what happened to it, not to mention I'd love to get it back into "the Patrick family".
