picked this up off a mate who works as a removalist. 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
zues pedals
Reminds me a lot of perhaps the finest bike I have ever seen in the flesh … Pergo’s Cinelli. I asked him straight what he was doing with it should he die and he said it was already allocated to another fellow he knows that lusts for it. His Cinelli is perfect in every detail.

I won’t say don’t sell it, but I will ask you what is the likelihood that you’ll ever be able to own another one? What you have is the holy grail for many collectors.
Lastly, 650b rims? That would be most unusual. Was it perhaps some English 26" rims (easy to pick, heavy, probably steel 26 x 1 3/8") that were supplanted or fitted after it lost it’s original race wheels? Just curious.
looked good and hard for one like it, pergo’s though is something else though
i have a collector in florence asking me for a price, think he’s getting somewhat anxious because i can’t decide on what it is worth to me, i know i’ll never have the chance to own anything like this again but at the same time, i am not a collector, owning it once in my life is enough to satisfy me
yes, my mistake, heavy steel 26 x 1 3/8" rear end was laced to the original record hub and the front was an early dura ace
