This was my bike until about a week ago. I sold it to the current eBay seller and explained to him that the decals were not original and not in the original foil style. Any embellishments are all hi ... |

Don't hate me for the decals. This was the first bike I ever sprayed (non-rattle-can) and I just didn't want to spring for foil decals if I didn't like my painting ability.

IIRC I bought my Interclub in the summer of '72 at Mel Pinto's retail store in Falls Church(?), VA. If it wasn't there, I must have made Dad drive down to Georgetown. I paid $175 for it (this may ha ... |

Not that it adds anything important to your history, but I bought my first Gitane, and first 10 speed, from Mel Pinto's Falls Church, Va store (I think that's the town) back around 1972. IIRC I paid ... |

I was wondering what were the longest reach Campy brakes made in that era. Were some longer than 57mm? Guessing the Super Corsa frames were made for 700c only? |

How did this work? I'm running 700c tubular rims and it appears that I will need around 60cm reach or more on the rear. The Racers I'm using fit fine, but I have a complete NR drivetrain and would l ... |

Thanks. I have used a spraygun before, but a full size one to paint cars, and too many years ago. The decals are easy, but there are some limitations if you print at home like I did - no metallics, ... |

Well here my finished product. The decals I made at home. The original foil type were rather pricey, and this was the first bike frame I had sprayed with a gun, the first time I had used this detail ... |
