Pure art... both green and yellow are far from me when it comes to bikes. A pista is definitely something I do not really need. But I would like to have this badly

Ill check it out in more details later and post some of my bigger misses.

And there is that fantastic crankset with the fantastic chain ring that I still don't have. And to make things worse ...counterfeits of this Stronglight have been showing up on Ebay. Shame for real on them.
I tend to think, that they are a cycling team, and not a bike maker, but I might be wrong. This bike was shared from the same person as above, but tagged as Denti:

The guy also posted a modern unlabelled Alan, which was later also labelled as Migliorelli.

I would say, whatever Migliorelli means, the bike is nice, but I think,it reminds me to the Fanciulli labelled Olmo siblings:
***CORRECTION*** (pretty unusual in modern media, but hey I'm old fashioned)

Hereby I, Lattz confirm, tha I partially falsely guessed that the Migliorelli is a badge engineered Fanciulli Olmo.
It is a badge engineered Olmo San Remo. I apologize for any inconveniences caused by the misleading statement.[sarcasm: OFF]

So it's a San Remo, here's the proof, and a few pics of another Olmo SR Crono








It is nice as well. The marble-splash "funky" paint is not in the middle of my heart (despite having one bike with it), but I would not kick it out from the cellar (but might attempt a handlebar throwing world record)

Was this nice Coppi ever posted here? Its on ebay from Cicli Berlinetta.
Much to my dislike of golden/gold color things this one definitely has the "exceptional" tag. +1 for the FIRs - among many-many other things. Please if someone sees a cheap 650c Aria like the front, please let me know. (I know cheap sound ridiculous, but I've paid EUR30 for the rear)

Someon in California just sold the passing crank, brake levers and the bent shifter for this frame all nicely panto'd. Was eyeing with em even though they were too new for mine but th 3 parts ended up in a close to 500USD total plus shipping (plus duty for me) which is a no go. Mine hardly costed anything so Ill never find cheap enough parts for it.
Would be awesome to have a bike like this one day then both TT and road are ticked (out at least for Somec) but 51cm is really far from 58....plis collecting the aforementioned parts are a highway to bankruptcy.

If I'm looking at the same sold parts the seller is a BF member who is selling the 3Rensho.

Yes, the same seller. And actually as these are TT goodies (I think these light have been the originals on the white frame as both are ultra rare) why not a few pics for the rest ot the community:

Well your wish is granted- somebody is selling this pristine Somec 58cm here in the Bay Area:

The seller is asking a whopping $1k for this single-speed converted bike though.

I was very impressed by the Soviet TAKION bikes and the power of the Soviets in the 80s on the track.

Oh yeah. Thats a really nice one as well. And while 1k is a lot of money Somec lo pros are not the most common things for sale and generally Somec prices were pushed to the heavens they are almost always expensive. Heres one which was lying around in the German market for a like 2 year for EUR 400 or 700 dont remember exactly. Now resurfaced at 1500 (without Boras of course) and looking at the prices of other "normal" Somec frames being a rarity thats unfortunately ambitious but not impossible either.




Back to the bike posted by you it came in the perfect moment for the occasional "post the road version as well" mini-tradition here. This Elite SX is what I've missed out a few months ago for EUR 300. Such finds cast a different light at "usd 1000 for a bare frame (i know i know its with wheels and so) is good or not".

Hello and welcome here. I guess there are quite a few of us be in your shoes when it comes to the admiration of Takhions. If you havent seen yet a while back there was a Takhion day a while ago but they are popping up on other pages as well. Unfortulately I also missed out the big chance with one as well but as it was track, its just half as painful as e.g. the white Somec road above.

This one goes to malcala622 as a correction to above post from April...



Keep the blood pressure pills at hand before opening the link

Its also a good example if 1000$ is a lot for the frame or not.

@Lattz Id be sleeping in my car for a week if my wife found out I spent that amount 3 money for 1 wheel. But then again I'd does have heated seats and an amazing sound system.

Still too much for an awesome disc wheel.

So it might be worth it!
I would be more worried about what would happen when I went back into the house...it might be rolling pin time along with loss of privileges...if you know what I mean.

Yes I guess "comrade wifey" institute is a big handbrake help in many cases to keep the things on a reasonable level. The wheel is nice, but its terrorist expensive just because it is celeste.

Hello and Welcome to TT Land. Thanks for posting pictures of your bike, especially for the action photo. My knowledge is really vague on non-European bikes (actually yesterday I've decided to improve it after catching myself marvelling at a Schwinn female bike in another thread), and I only know about Marinoni through his apprenticeship with Mario Rossin, then still at Colnago.


You have quite a nice bike over there, I like the color and the matching tape, and also the components are good. Even the century/graphite finished Deltas are balanced nicely with the levers and the black seat, so while I'm being an either/or person when it comes to the chrome/black question of the gruppo (which doesn't matter as I'm more of an "armchair-expert", not a pro rider), I like your setup as is. Do you happen to know which year is it from?
