The final results of Chris' restoration of a Cinelli Super Corsa Leggerissimo. The maiden voyage will be this weekend, check back for a report.

The Leggerissimo was a special model sold by the Brugelmann shop in Frankfurt, Germany. Read more here and see the listing in their catalog. Here is a photo of my own 1972 Cinelli SC Leggerissimo, still completely original:

Cinelli Pista


Tom writes in, "Picked this up off a mate who works as a removalist, he was pretty much given the bike and I bought it off him. Came with steel 650b rims laced to a rear record hub and front first gen dura ace, got rid of them pretty quickly and replaced with 32/40 record(pre stamped) laced to gold fiamme rims.

Just waiting on the new rear sprocket, some rubber and a replacement head tube badge.

Other parts are:
cinelli #1 stem/#14 bars
first gen record pista cranks/bb
25 tooth campagnolo chainring
record headset
the coventry chain
unicator saddle
christophe cages
zeus pedals

Not sure if I want to sell it or do a full restoration.

It's mid 60's is as far as I know from the hubs that were on it.

Serial number is 7782".
