Fiorelli Coppi Pista

It has the original Italia "Coppi" Superlegerra saddle on it(with yellow lettering). At some point matching becomes overkill, and a installing a yellow saddle merely for looks would disrespect the original and comfortable one that managed to stay with it all these years. As for the yellow tubular tires go, I happened to have that set of wheels with the tires mounted when I purchased the bike, so I sold the non Italian set that I acquired it with. That was just a random thing, as was the new Tufo tubulars I purchased off of a local NW racer, that I found out during the purchase process were not black but yellow. They could have been red, or black or whatever color he happened to have and that would be what I'd be pushing through the corners. I would only post a bike here for archival's sake. Anyone can throw parts on a bike these days. All it takes is going to the nearest bike shop, but being able to see a bike in it's complete(or relatively speaking) original condition makes this a useful resource. Not a rant, just a perspective.

I won't be losing my mind anytime soon. But if I do, you'll see me wandering the streets with this in tow.

Yeah, this bike is ridiculously good looking ala Derek Zoolander
