Time to assess what I bought.
Original handlebar tape and gooey hoods. I read somewhere that gooey gum comes off easily in hot water.
Stem bolt missing. That wasn't mentioned in the auction.
Cinelli Unicanitor saddle. This is an easy fix. Mounted on a Nuovo Record seat post.
Unusually tidy rear mech. This bike hasn't been dropped.
A few minor scratches on the stays but the brake looks good. Pity the tyre is falling apart.
Very dirty chain and straight 6 speed block. Why don't people clean their bikes?
A lot of work to clean these. Maybe a respoke?
Front mech and chainrings look good.
A very worn jockey pulley. That will be replaced.
This is going to be the tricky part. How did the frame get worn in this manner? Someone must have had huge thighs!
Will this come off easily?
Clamp on shifters. All my other bikes have braze-ons so I am very happy with this feature.
Nice 3ttt stem and bars.
Another angle on the gooey hoods.
More cleaning to be done here but otherwise it looks very tidy.
The bike shop decal might offer some insights into the history of this bike.
Nuovo Record headset.
That is 2 useless tyres :(
Nuove Record pedals. Nice. Alfredo Binda straps! I'm not keen on the Christophe clips but they are probably original so I'll keep them.
Rear view of the Cinelli saddle.
Very clean down tube. Overall the frame is tidy for its age.
