Gipiemme pedals? These are slightly later than 1970, with alloy cages. The quill is not so severe, and might work for you. They look similar to Campy, are a bit lighter, and still quite nice. Because they are not anodized black, you can file the tips of the quills on the alloy cages if they do hit your feet.

.... funny story ... maybe. i was unpacking an ebay find one summer several years ago in shorts and was so excited about it, i really started tearing into the bubble stuff. as i went through the mess i flipped the thing over. holey ouch !!! the frame's "widow peak" on the seat lug sent a three-inch cut through my left knee area. took three stitches in the er. .... the frame was a nos wizzard.
"step away from the file brian" !!
you can guess the rest.

Also, on smaller sized frames, the mounting strap for some seat
bags can rub against the little peak, abrading the paint. For
that reason - during a repaint - I had once had the frame
builder file down one of those peaks.

Sterling and gang,
I'm officially ready to test the track after a long absence. My main
objective will to be to see if I can actually pedal my 70's Cinelli
around the track with a 66 x 12 gear on. Haven't had a chance to try
this out yet, so I'm curious what it's like. May need a motorpace to
get it to speed; or maybe Charles and Carmen will be able to pace me
at speed on their track tandem; which I'm also anxious to see on the
track. Will be bringing out a few of my other track bikes to horse
around with also.
Prizes for the bike with the biggest gear, and for the smallest track
frame, right? I think I have it covered with a 47.5cm c-t 650C wheel
bike and the Cinelli with 66x12. BTW, that's a genuine pre-1970
Campagnolo track ring, and probably one of only 10 or so made when
Campaglolo cut the rings with 66, 68, and 70 teeth; according to an
old Italian mechanic I spoke to one time.
Looking forward to the gathering and some track time. I hear we have
a pretty good crowd comming. Weather will be perfect; as a matter of
fact "the weather is here, wish you were beautiful", as we say in
California.
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA I would suggest that everyone who plans to attend should bring some
extra dark sunglasses. The reason will become apparent tomorrow.
It just occurred to me that we are holding this event on a Saturday
and no t the normal Sundays, So the CHURCH Parking Lot on the corner of 20th
and E street, ½ a block South of my House, is also available for parking. Th
e next San Diego Vintage Ride and BBQ Party will be held on Saturday, September 9th. This ride is going to be a Track Bike Velodrome event (Fixed gear Track bikes Only). So get out your old Cinelli Sprint,
Masi Special and Pogliaghi Pursuit Bikes. Please bring your Wives and Girl friends. This Ride BBQ Party is a lot of fun. Start time 9:00am for
a light breakfast of Donuts, fruit and Coffee. At 10:30am we will
drive
to or ride the 1-mile or so to the Velodrome in Balboa Park. Well hit th
e boards for about an hour of fun and find out if Brian Baylis is still
the fastest man on the track.
About 12:00 noon well head back to the house for BBQ lunch in Part y.

Tony, can you tell us what you know of the Brooks B.17 Competition Standard Campagnolo Model. Years made, variations, etc. I've seen one that didn't have the holes in the top or the nose trimmed (stamped 60 on the cantle plate) and another that had the three holes
and the nose trimmed like a Brooks Pro (stamped 62 on the cantle).

Dear Knowledgeable ones, I have just posted a few photos on my website of when I was at the Tour de France when it first came to Britain way back in 1974, the main reason I was there was to see my hero Eddy Merckx in action. Does anyone know why is Eddy wearing a white jersey when his team mates are in the familiar orange an blue 'Molteni' jersey's ? I admit I don't know much about the Tour, I don't think it is a 'World Championship' jersey and I looked up 'white jersey' on Google and it's for the best 'youth' rider (aged 25 or under) in the Tour (Eddy was 29) Can anyone put me and my brother's mind to rest?

thanks to the off-list contributor "MB" for sending his memories of Holland of south London to us.
One of the apsects of the piece that really caught my interest was his description of Hollands shop in the Old Kent Road, lit up with a single light bulb.
Many years ago, when I was starting out in the retail cycle trade I thought that I should venture forth in as professional manner as possible..and so I decided to become a member of the trade body looking after the interests of such dealers as myself, by supplying cheaper insurance, supplies of sales tickets, ledgers, headed notepaper..a crest with a coat-of-arms to stick on the glass panel in the shop's entrance door and two more for the corners of the main display window.. I needed to belong..and I has never had had the right to use a coat-of-arms before that time.
So I telephoned the secretary of the Federation of Cycle Retailers ( I think that was the name..), in Orpington, Kent (..even that sounded professional) and explained in the best and, I hoped, the most professional way that I could that I wanted to become a member of the Federation. One concern that I harboured was that the Federation might not welcome youngsters such as myself, preferring a more mature type of member. I was also worried that "Mr Federation" who spoke such exquisite english, with such a plummy accent might not take to my rougher Yorkshire tones and dialect Just when I felt that things were going really well, this southern, this Orpington gentlemen addressed me with the very down -to earth- question.."Why would a young man like you want to join the sixty-watt-bulb-trade?"
Rather taken aback by this fundamental question, whose meaning I really had not grasped - perhaps I had phoned the wrong number and got the Federation of Hardware Dealers - I stuttered down the phone line, "I don't really understand. What do you mean by the-sixty-watt-bulb-trade?"
Quick as a flash he rejoined " I mean the retail cycle trade! Haven't you noticed...either the shop is barely illuminated by a single sixty watt light bulb...or the proprietor is as dim as a sixty watt bulb!
So much professionalism..but I still lusted after that self-adhesive coat-of-arms for the shop front door..dim bulbs or no dim bulbs.

Chainring looks like a Solida, but FS could stand for Fichtel & Sachs, which would make this something german. They used french a lot. Just a guess, though. kim

Ahoy !
Yes, I mean gauge size 14, 15, 16 etc. and not gauge as in measuring tool
I used a notch style spoke measuring tool (Park) on the galvanized spokes on the 1973 Raleigh Super Course Mk II. The spokes appear to be the OEM. I assumed these old galvanized are straight 14 gauge. Yet, when I measured, the 1.7 notch fit the mid-section of the spoke while the 1.8 notch fit the nipple end and the head end. No, I cannot feel the tell-tale double-butted bulge. Do old spokes stretch or swell? What gauge are these?
Thanks. Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois

I have a set of 71 ( pretty sure, everything else was ) Campy record pedals that came on a recent craigslist purchase. Only problem is that they're too small for my 12E feet - the raised lip on the edge of the cage presses against the side of my foot something fierce. Nothing like having your feet fall asleep on the climb home!
I'd like to trade them for something of similar quality/vintage/ condition/value. Off list if you're interested.
Thanks-
