Been piecing this together since early spring and now that fall has arrived it is finally rolling. In the next few days I need to take some decent pictures to post up. A few more things I would like to do with it, tires, radial lace the front wheel…..you know it never ends!
1985 Marinoni, Marinoni Special, Serial Number: P513
The tube set is Columbus SL with a Columbus SP down tube. The fork crown and bottom bracket are Hitachi. The standard engraving on the lugs and Nagasawa inspired, Hitachi cast fork crown, produced by the lost wax method were the traditional ‘M’, but for a slight price increase could be ordered with either the Fleur-de-lis or Maple leaves. Customizing the tube set was a common practice for Marinoni, his blend to give the frame a little more stiffness. Another thing that Marinoni did that no one else did was to stamp the serial number on both the bb and the fork steerer tube. When Marinoni first started making framesets up until the mid-eighties, he was strictly building for racers and not the general population. His location up in Terrebonne, Quebec Canada was off the radar. You had to know of someone who knew someone to find out where he was.
