Wow, I don't remember one of these turning up here before, I've been sitting on one for quite a while.
The bikes were full Dura-Ace (740X/7410 first, later 7700) and there was a panto'd (Italian?) aero post available from back then.
There was also yellow Coppi bar tape and chromed-steel Coppi quill stem. I also remember the Polti team using 4-spoke Spinergy carbon wheels.
I will try to scare up a photo of mine and see what's under the bb shell.

Nice score. Giovanni Pelizzoli was involved in building that era of Coppi bikes.

I know. I have the same feeling, otherwise I'd have already installed one of the Campy headsets. I guess I'm trying to talk myself into that being ok.

Patience will be needed. The RD is not common; the FD likewise, but they do appear from time to time. The crankset mounts the inner ring to the middle ring, not the crank arm. Money could solve the scarcity issue.

Eddy Merckx and Max Fondriest among others would disagree — Lol.
but Coppi branded bicycles have been around for a long long time - distribution has been largely Euro and thats why we dont see many of em

Id go with the Miche headset if you are undecided. It can cross the streams and play with either a Campy or Shimano drivetrain

Andy_K For what it is worth, The 91ish Pinarello Montello arrived with Campagnolo HS and DA 740x. For me the Campagnolo won out and it now has dominantly Chorus with the rear hub still DA while the rear replacement is laced. The front will be replaced as well when the rear is done as it is going the sew-up configuration.

Quiet down, Robbie! As my personal bicycle chauffeur and publicist, he's probably thinking of asking me for a pay raise.

Maybe 6603. I've always been happy to stop at Ultegra.

I couldn't wait to ride this one, so I stripped the parts off another bike to build this one. I finished it last week, but didn't get the weather to ride it until today. I've still got a couple of minor changes to make -- green water bottle cages and pedals with green highlights are in the mail. The crank is maybe a bit too bulky to be all black, but overall I'm pretty happy with how this looks.
To address the obvious question raised by these pictures -- yes, the rear tire is extremely close to the seat tube, but, no, it's not actually touching. I was able to get 700x28 tires in there, but just barely and they had to be true-to-size 28's. The front derailleur cable is bent forward because if I bent it backward it would brush the tire when I shifted into the big chainring.
The components are mostly 5700--series Shimano 105. The front derailleur is Ultegra 6600 because that's all I had for braze-on mounted. The brakes are 5800-series 105 for some reason I don't remember.

Is the front derailer all the way down along it's bz-on slot on the frame?
Seeing that's a 50t big ring so perhaps, but the spec for cage clearance to the tips of the big ring's teeth is only 1-3mm and I'm seeing a lot more.
As a long-legger I'm feeling the challenge of achieving sufficient stack-to-reach ratio on this one, hoping the stability at speed is good(?).
Clearance for 28's is more than I could ask for on a 1990's frame!

For me it'as a wonderful bike.
Fausto Coppi after his retirement will begin to produce his own bike, and signed a contract with the producer Fiorelli of Novi Ligure. After his death the contract is still valid an the production of "Fausto Coppi" bike continued. In year 1994 the brand is aquired by Masciaghi, a big italian bike manufacter. In the period of mid-late '90 until at least late 2005-2010 the better frame of "Fausto Coppi", those that have the sticker "Reparto corse", are brazed by the famous welder Giovanni Pelizzoli, that in Italy is also know with the name "Ciöcc".
In that period a lot of international riders use the Fausto Coppi bike for a lot of international victory.
The Pelizzoli maker are still in business and make customised bike frames tha cost alot of money.

Very nice bike too. Do you have some others images of the Fausto Coppi brochure? In particular i'm searching catalogs of Fausto Coppi brand of 2001 and 2002 years.
