Hello List, I was contacted by a former racer living nearby in Innsbruch Austria who wants to restore his Cinelli SC which he bought in 1952 new!! At some point in time, he decided to modernise this bike, by upgrading it whith a new shifting system and adding some brazeons. In order to use newer hubs, he filed down the notches on the cambio-corsa/Paris-Roubaix dropouts. He still has the matching axles but unfortunately gave away the Paris-Roubaix shifting system. He used the Cinelli until recently as a town-bike, but now got aware that the cinelli might be to valuable for this. So he decided to go for a restauration and now is looking for the missing parts. So, can anybody help in this matter and point me to a source for the dropouts or even the shifting sytem? I know, those parts are very expensive, if they turn up at all, but where, if not on this list, soemone might be able to help? The guy still rides his racing bikes, being born in 1937, and I guess a 1953 Cinelli deserves to be restored, especially since I have never seen a cinelli wit PR shifter system. Thanks for any input in this matter
