2006 Cinelli Super Corsa Reveal NOS!

[@BikeItUK]

Mate, if I lived over the water id be making a bee line for you.....you seem a great open and honest kinda guy, and into the same things. Noticed you have a couple of TT's knocking about, I have a Lotus Exige tucked away, I should get it out and share it with you all Im thinking. Im 48 now and still feel great (at the moment) changed my diet a few years ago cut out the animal proteins and fats, remained active enjoying what I love doing cycling mainly. I also found cold water therapy this year, I now generally go for a dip before the day begins and catch Sunrise. It's never been so important to be mindful of all what we have and look after ourselves and each other, especially in such crazy times we now live. I hope you are on track with the weight and enjoying feeling better for it. All the very best matey.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the kind comments. I'm into cars as well. I like to roll! One is a 2001 TT quattro convertible. The other is a 2019 TTRS that is jacked up to 525 HP. Its a monster. What you see on the channel is what you get. I try to be as genuine as possible. Glad you got your health in order. Im working on it daily.

[@FrancescBlandino]

Beautiful. Love the crisp clicks of the Campagnolo groupset

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Yes! shifts wonderfully

[@dkubarek1]

I like how this garage is immaculate, has every Park Tool, 60+ bikes, two cars and one grill. Only the essentials and nothing more.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I don't think anyone would call me a minimalist. Lol

[@markbattista6857]

You can always tell a good mechanic by how smooth he works and how easy he or she makes it look and John has both of these qualities I have always loved that pinch bolt & that entire set up also . as for the bar tape , it's a period thing found more in the mid to late 90s and worked well with two tone bicycles of the same colors , personally after trying it once I never tried it again . Thanks Mark Battista

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks! yeah that tape was period correct. I haven't changed it yet!

[@SMidberg]

Nice ,especially the clean drop outs , seatclamp and cableguides under the bottombracket .

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

What do you think about putting an 11 sp Campy group on it?

[@seansims8805]

I didn't like that tape back in the day but it's groovy now ...kudos on the health approach...!!!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I think its going to be black!

[@TomJordans]

Nothing wrong with asking for comments! Yes, mid-90s for 8-speed Campy. Great build!

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

It’s quite possibly a 2006. Few people realize that you can still have a Super Corsa custom built for you by Cinelli and this has been possible since the early 80’s I believe so the time range of those frames is huge. The groupset places it in the 90’s however. I’d leave the bar tape, it’s original and still looks good 👍🏼 All the best with the weight loss, keep focused on the end goal 👊🏼

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks! I appreciate your input for sure.

[@bikenraider99]

That's a good lookong bike. You have me goinf through the shed to see what kind of frames I collected over the years and lost track of. Good for you getting back to riding too. We'll keep you accountable ;)

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Don't misunderstand. Ive been riding "again" since 2011. I just haven't been riding my NOS classics.

[@91LX50Mike]

Another awesome video John…

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thank you. I appreciate you watching

[@LeeErnstGroup]

Good info John!

[@grantkoeller8911]

Do you remember "the" tape, it was a type of rubberized suede tape, super comfortable made in the 1970's.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Yeah. not familiar with that. Sorry

[@joeberard5810]

That is a beautiful bike! Keep the tape and components they look great!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Yeah, not sure what im going to do. Still thinking of putting more modern parts.. not sure!

[@nielskjr5432]

Very beautiful, thank you! You're right. The bar tape has to go. Why not try leather? With a matching saddle? A modern groupset I like is the Campagnolo Athena. Produced until '16. 👍

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

A Retro Mod is in the cards for sure. I have a 2016 Athena bike. My fake China Masi has one.

[@joesch1733]

For sure leather is the best IMO especially on a vintage bike

[@davidmacpherson8710]

What a pro. Respect.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thank You Sir.

[@glenngraczyk5273]

There’s only one thing to do with the bar tape, pure white cotton wrap. Good luck with your weight loss. I lost 40 pounds recently and feel great! I eat portions the size of my fist, almost no wheat based foods, no sugar and no dairy. You’re in my prayers and enjoy your new body!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks Glenn! I appreciate it. I've done it before as I said in the video. I'll get there! Updates coming. Thanks again!

[@LLOPEZJF]

🏆 Really beautiful !!

You’re Awesome John ! Very inspiring!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I don't know how this is inspiring, however think so much for watching. I appreciate it

[@treusser9898]

@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage …the weight loss goal. It’s something I need to constantly work on at age 63 too. Someday soon I’ll send photos of the two Vintage road bike barn / collections that I’ve enjoyed putting together now after collecting vintage VW’s & Porsches for over 40 yrs. Your Channel is Top notch ! Many Thanks ! Terry, from The Olympic Peninsula, Wa.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

@@treusser9898 Thanks much. I appreciate it. Im a VW Audi guy. I also had a couple of Porsches. The Bike garage is located at Irongate Motor Condos. Google that and look at images. It's worth a visit. Idl ike to see those barns

[@dennisspors7530]

I have a 96 Veloce Bianchi with the same design group set, Veloce vs.Chorus...also an 8 speed. Rather than shinny chrome it came painted silver.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Sounds like a good setup!

[@BicycleRestorationMan]

Another great bike John! If the bar tape is still in rideable shape I would leave it on. Otherwise, I think black tape would look good. I’ve never seen adjustable screws on vertical dropouts before.

[@SkyhawkSteve]

I agree! I figure that "splash" tape was so hated that it will be like the Edsel... it'll almost entirely end up in the landfill. The few remaining examples will become valuable! ..and if I'm wrong, it'll be easy to replace it with something better (i.e. almost anything). :-)

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks so much, I am in a quandary as to whether or not I want to bring the components up to a similar production date as the frame, can be an expensive endeavor. I'm a little torn on the tape.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

@RollinRat Thanks for all the advice. I'm very well versed on rollers. I've used them for ages. I have a colnago super single. That has the option of a fixed gear on the flipside of the hub. Not sure If I want to use that. lol. I think the trick for me with the rollers and the trainer is consistency. If I can just do it 4 ro 5 times a week! Thanks for watching.

[@grantkoeller8911]

Internal cable routing on top tube

[@karlnordinger5968]

Black bar tape with black Regal saddle with be my preference ( never liked the look of the Rolls - but that's me ). Somewhat dated Chorus grouppo looks fine on the Cinelli Super Corsa . As usual I enjoyed the video . [ Regarding your recent medical event - I've heard doctors at NYU's Langone Medical Center say patients who are most knowledgeable about their diagnosis generally have the best outcomes. About 15 years ago studies demonstrated that unless you are actually having a myocardial infarct (heart attack) baloon angioplasty wasn't necessary - patients do as well or better on Rx (prescription meds ) without surgical intervention. Extra weight is a stress on the heart ; male belly fat secretes harmful hormones and greatly increases mortality with SARS CoV - 2 . I find you to be a humble and smart guy you do the research.]

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks for the input. I had the stent already. On some meds.. Feel like a million bucks! I think black tape is the winner.

[@joesch1733]

Another manifica bike. Black tape and maybe swap with seat from 1977 Bianchi build. I love both Rolls saddles

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Thanks. I dont know if I want to take the seat from the Bianchi! lol

[@danspiritoso5945]

Looks to be an early 90’s frame set. Get rid of that handle bar tape and use all black!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

It looks like a '90s but everything else says it is a 2006.

[@S44BBOI]

I agree with this comment - this bike is from the early 90s, hence why it has an 8 speed groupset and that handlebar tape.

[@grantkoeller8911]

I like that handlebar tape

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

It is period correct.

[@timdodd3897]

Nice bike John. I'd go with black tape to match the graphics. You inspired me to lose weight too. I always wanted a set of rollers, so maybe now's the time. The bike groups up here would see my vintage ride and say what the ?

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I hear you buddy, I'm with ya, we are not getting any younger. Now is the time to make our mark. These bikes are a lot more fun to ride when you're lean and mean. Do you still have a bike you want to do on the channel?

[@timdodd3897]

@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage I'd like to do my '85 Pinarello Montello. The frame is in my closet. A rare one? Diane's Pink Bianchi.

[@grantkoeller8911]

Great news about your new commitment to loosing weight. I walk 2 miles every day with my headphones and radio.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Yeah. I didnt do so well. Im working hard on it now!

[@redwallace7934]

I'm not familiar with those vertical dropouts with the adjusting screws

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I've never seen any with adjusters on them before this one. I thought that was the point of a vert dropout was just dropping the wheel in and your square. lol

[@jefferyobryan6351]

John, in your humble opinion, what is the more comfortable (bumps,etc) ride, Reynolds 531 or Columbus sl/slx. I've test rode 2 Colnago supers, hated both of them, instant neck pain, whereas my Raleigh international/pro and paramount are a joy to ride. Now there's a gorgeous 61cm cinelli super corsa repaint on ebay, my size. Anyway, can't find any vs opinions on bike forums, what's your take? Different strokes for different folks...DOUGH!😩

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Hi. Honestly I think you are comparing apples and oranges. What you're feeling in my opinion is a difference in geometry v/s tubing sets. Most Colnagos have more of a Crit geometry with steeper head angles and shorter wheelbase and such. Plus the Colnago does not as much rake in the fork compared to the Raleigh International. BTW those internationals were built specifically for comfort. Smaller tubed chain stays etc. I found in General that the more comfortably spec'd frames were mostly Reynolds and more racing frames were spec'd with Columbus. But of course there are exceptions. Many! Check out the head angles and wheelbase on that Cinelli and that will tell you more about how its going to ride more than the tubing that was selected for the frameset. Hopefully that was helpful.

[@be4no]

I love the bar tape but not for that bike. It's got Eddie Van Halen Frankenstrat vibes.

[@TomJordans]

Also, great job on getting in shape and prolonging your life! I'm about 90 pounds overweight - don't let the old avatar pic fool you, so starting Jan 1 - I plan on losing all that weight in 1 year. Good luck to you and good health to you, as well!

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

Awesome! You can do it. Find a plan that works and stick with it! Keep in touch.

[@cristobalromeroperez605]

😍😍😍

[@shoff535]

Hmmmm….. quill stem/threaded headset on a 2006 generally I’d say “I don’t think so”. However, a year or so ago Willier brought out the Superleggera, with a quill stem and a threaded stem, but it has a modern drivetrain . On the Cinelli, I’d go by the s/n and logic…. why put early 90s 8sp on a modern frame?

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I agree with you. According to the Cinelli Facebook group and what I read online it is a 2006. It is equipped the way it is because that is how it came. I have to decide whether or not I want to purchase and install a similar dated group set. Tough call. And possibly an expensive one

[@shoff535]

@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage Hi John, sorry I wasn’t clear. I was speculating that it might in fact be earlier than 2006 bc of the groupset on it. However I can see that if it is a 2006 frame set (as your research shows) then the previous owner set it up to look like a classic 80s/90s bike. Regardless, it’s a wonderful and pristine bike! And I wouldn’t hesitate giving my left kidney for it 😀👍

[@ghostdog7306]

The tape looks like clown camouflage. I'd go with black, a classic look and doesn't show dirt if you actually ride it. Thank you for sharing.

[@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage]

I believe this bike will get a retro mod upgrade. Campagnolo 11 speed kit. Then the tape will go LOL

[@joyce120860]

That guercotti is an Alan frame ! Nice !
