www.campafreak.com Cinelli track bike from 1960 This bike from around 1960 could be traced back to Hans Mangold a teammate of Rudi Altig in the late 50ties till Rudi Altig turned pro in 1960. This bike is almost in the condition of the 60ties, with the exception of the Continental Sonderklasse 175 pista tubulars which are from 1985 and the Unicanitor M55 saddle, as the bike found it's way from the velodrome to the first collector. I got told that the original saddle was a Brooks Swallow. From practical experience I know that old track bike were used till the mid 80ties by the clubs as pool bikes for the events on the velodrome. The same destiny has hapened to the Schwinn Paramount track #E74376 - May 1974 which has been used till the turn of the millennium in Rochester Hills,Mi velodrome. Details

Thats one beefy chainring. But 27 tooth? Inch pitch seems crazy, tho less resistance... I mean shimano did the 10 pitch gruppo in the 80's but didn't catch on...again. Still very beautiful.
