Is this a Super Special or not. I say no because of the Bottom Bracket and the eyelets, very nice chrome though. Mr. Ritz you can get out of the Dog House on this.(just Joshin)

This is for all the Italvega freeks. For some unGodly reason I am a member.

I respond: Yep, it's a Super Speciale and a first year model. Besides the eyelets, look at the fork crown - it's a Cinelli crown that has not been filed and shaped to match the blade, so there's an overhang on the crown. I remember having this exact model (gee, this is even my size!) when I worked for Lawee in 1972.
