It's ...You're right about the stem height. It's too long for the head tube. I have a Cinelli bar/stem, but it's too new for the rest of the bike. It should have a Cinelli-Firenze bar/stem. Saddle Support was common on 40s track bikes because the saddle clamps weren't very effective in keeping the saddle level.

Such a nice bike deserves a perfect setup. Here's what I'd do: Move the saddle forward so that the saddle strut is vertical - or ditch the strut altogether. The seat tube decal is positioned way too high. Lower the handlebar stem deeper into the headset - track cycles always positioned the stem for deepest drop. Finally, get an Italian stem!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876254309274680258.post-76494317088996809102011-06-05T07:54:55.333-07:002011-06-05T07:54:55.333-07:00Very nice job.

A few comments that would make it perfect: The seat tube decal is positioned too high, the saddle strut is really not necessary when the saddle is positioned all the way back (these were generally used for time trials when the rider was in a saddle-forward position). The strut should also be vertical. Finally, ditch the french stem. Keep it Tutto Italiano, baybee!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876254309274680258.post-45486116787752234772011-01-11T16:48:21.980-08:002011-01-11T16:48:21.980-08:00Scott - that's a stunner, man.

A cut above! Great job.mpetry912https://www.blogger.com/profile/02434530239246909594noreply@blogger.com
