  1. I have this bike as well measuring 57 cm BB to center top tube. Same color. Same original paint and decals. Earlier model SR derailleurs though and Cinelli 1/A stem, not 1/R. Mine also did not have the Regina Record chain, and since it was a riding bike, not a show piece, it now has a 7 speed freewheel and 7 speed chain, still on Campy SF Record hubs. I still love riding this bike, even if it doesn't have the Fiamme Red Label rims anymore - those were soft as butter back in the day and were replaced with simpler to service clinchers long ago.
