Serotta Colorado restoration P.1 - Rear derailleur!
This thing was so gunked up to the point it wouldn’t function properly. The backside of the pulley wheel cage was also on backwards! Now, it’s good to go!

Thoughts on the horizontal filming? Go back to vertical? Trying something new! Let me know which you prefer!

This is my 1990 Cinelli Supercorsa! This has been a dream bike of mine for the past 6 years. I found it on marketplace about 7 months ago and it was a total hodgepodge. It was equipped with mostly Ultegra components and I ended up scrapping everything and built it from the ground up. It’s a mix of Campy Record and Dura-Ace (come at me purists). I took the parts I liked the most and slapped em on! I also added some small details like the drilled little chainring, dimpled headset nut, drilled brake barrel adjusters, and swapped some parts around on the rear derailleur. Little things that in my opinion, take it to the next level. It’s the best bike I’ve ever ridden! I have a few other bikes but I almost always end up on this one. On group rides I sometimes get asked, “what are those little levers on the downtube for?” 😆

It’s always fun to have a frame with a history behind it! Huffy acquired Raleigh in 1982 and would change hands again in 1986. The high end track frames that were being built by Huffy during that time were made in Dayton, Ohio by master builders Mike Melton and Steve Bishop. They were responsible for the design and production of the bikes ridden in the 1984, 1986, and 1988 Olympics. There are no markings on this frame that would indicate who it was made by. I have a theory as to the history of this frame, but I can’t confirm anything.

I bought this frame in a bulk purchase from the friend of a vendor who buys storage units. There were a few other track frames and wheels, along with a Gios track fork with the name, “David Lindsay,” written multiple times on the steer tube. After searching the name, I found an article that was published on September 2, 1986 from a Colorado Springs newspaper that discussed David Lindsey and Kit Kyle winning the silver medal that year in the tandem sprint. Since these frames were only made to spec and not for mass production and given the fact that there is a David Lindsey who rode professionally on the velodrome, I would assume this frame was made by either Mike or Steve for David Lindsey, or someone on team USA. But who knows for sure!!

This frame is currently for sale on my website!

Measurements:
Seat tube (ctt) - 56cm
Seat tube (ctc) - 54.5cm
Top tube (ctc) - 55.5cm
Head tube - 140mm
Rear spacing - 120mm
