Notes:

This frame has some interesting history. Marinoni started up his shop in 1975, so this frame would have been among the first 10-12 pista frames that he made under his own badge. The frame's first owner was an employee of Marinoni at the time and was responsible for most of the lug detail work incl. pantographs. He custom engraved and drilled the crank arms, including the fairly ballsy move of etching a fleur-de-lis over the Campy badge... Very Quebec.

The frame was in decent condition but had some rust on the bb shell and around the head tube. Marinoni himself was involved in the restoration of the bike including the paint. I am extremely honored that he took part. The color is called 'eclipse'. The bike is in honor of Marinoni's 30+ years in the business.

Ciao!

They are solid. Hand positions are good/comfy and I like the less deep drop which is comparable to Criteriums. Went with 3ttt as opposed to Cinelli as that was what Marinoni were using at the time...

You can

call or contact Marinoni via email by checking out their site http://marinoni.qc.ca/

I have had two frames dated (or confirmed) by them to date and they are very helpful when it comes to authentication... You will need to provide them with the serial number which should be engraved on the underside of the bottom bracket shell.

Good luck with your build; I am thinking that you will be very pleased.

This has got to be the most beautiful bike on Velospace. Very nice work. If you happen to know where I can get ahold of one of those gorgeous frames, please let me know... I need an upgrade.

Awesome bike! To all of you guy's if you know well enough Pepe Marinoni he will build you a frame with the "fleur de Lys" lugs and Columbus tubing's on special order, do it fast because he's 71 years old and will retire soon.
