Subject: [CR]ebay fraud?

I noticed a possible ebay fraud. Yesterday, a set of Campy Cobalto calipers sold for the princely sum of $202.49 http://ebay.com/<blah> eName=STRK:MEWA:IT I recall those as having cursive lettering and a lager pivot bolt without any knurling. Should I give the buyer a heads-up? I am also surprised at the price, as I have seen NOS examples go for less than $190.00

Greg: The "F" serial number should put it in 1971. But I'm not sure I can put a lot of faith in other Raleigh "rules-of-thumb" to comment on your component mix, although retroraleighs.com shows the 1970 version with full Campy.

So when did the Pros switch from centerpull to sidepull brakes? And what year is my F1668 (brown/mink) Mk II Pro from? 1969? 1970? 1971? It has a Brampton seat cluster, chrome, and Campy sidepulls. Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan

No help on the subject form me, but I do have an add on question to those in the know. Could this Tinazzi be the Tinazzi that raced for Torpado in Italy in the late 1950s? I have a scanned PIC of him in a Torpado squad photo that I can email out. Thanks for the info.

Also, wasn't there some change in the "foot" of the Colnago club/flower,

where it went from flat bottomed to convex, or vice-versa?

Mark,

What I can say about the shape of the Colnago Flower, is that it can take on almost any shape you can imagine and still be the club. Even on the same bike, I have clubs with flat bottom, pointed bottom, concave and convex bottom; all on the same bike and speaking of only the cutouts. Seems like most of the graphics have a flat bottom.

So those who are planning to attend the Velo Rendezvous comming up and have an affection for Colnago (that would include me!), I hope to have a special surprise to share. Book your trip now!

The fellow that Norris wrote about is the French rider who was born in Algeria: Marcel Tinazzi. I saw him when he won the motor-paced Bordeaux-Paris race in 1982. He left quite an impression as he arrived in Paris after such a long race. He didn't even seem overly tired. Marcel raced as a pro from 1977-1986.

The fellow that Mark is asking about is Marcel's uncle the Italian rider who was born in Italy: Giorgio Tinazzi. Unfortunately, Giorgio passed away 5 days after his 46th birthday in 1982. He did indeed race for one season (1959) with Torpado. His best season was 1960 when he won both the Giro di Sicilia and the giro di Romandia. -- Steven Maasland Moorestown, NJ

I picked up a early to mid 80's schwinn super sport that I thought I would part out but it's just too nice to break up. It's a small frame around 48,49 cm. So it would be perfect a shorter person, maybe your wife or for a child. It's in great shape, very clean, it's an off white pearlescent finish. I wanted the complete shimano 600 groupo on it. Derailleurs and shifters are the arabesque kind, 600 cranks (170), 600 side pull brakes and levers with great supple black hoods, 600 sealed hubs laced to weinmann aero rims, it even has a 600 sealed headset as well as a beautiful pair of 600 pedals (aero design) with the hard to find toe clips. It's a selle italia saddle with a sr post, stem and bars are french, Belleri I believe is the brand. The stem is quite nice, silky smooth finish. The frame is free of decals, it does have the schwinn super sport headbadge. I don't think that this is a repaint because it looks like a finish I've seen on other schwinns fo the time. Maybe it was orginally bought as a frameset? I also believe that these were made with columbus tubing. It's a 12 speed btw.

I was about to tear it down when I decided to take it for a spin first. It's a great ride, I"ve been tempted to keep it and just get a longer seat post for it. I believe at the time it was made it was 2nd or 3rd in the schwinn lineup. It's definately a sport/race bike. No eyelets for fenders or racks, two sets of braze ons for water bottles and even came with a paramount water bottle holder.

I would like to see this go to someone who is going to ride it and appreciate it and not someone who is going to part it out (I could do that myself and use the parts). I'm asking what I paid for it, 200.00 plus shipping. Let me know if you have any questions. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/marcgarcia80@ameritech.net/album?.dir=c83a &.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/marcgarcia 80@ameritech.net/my_photos There's a link to some pics.
