Leggerissimo Pista in Berlin

If you look carefully at this video you can spot a Leggerissimo Pista in a Berlin bike shop. Would a Berliner be kind enough to take some photos of it and send them to me? It can be spotted at about 28/29 seconds. A classic, silver, SC can also be spotted later in the video.

Cinelli Leggerrisimo for Pista

Thanks to the owner, Kevin M., for sending in photos of his early 1970s Cinelli Leggerissimo pista bike. The frame was sold originally through Brügelmann in Frankfurt, Germany. This lightweight frame has a drilled bottom bracket and special lightweight Columbus tubing.

Kevin writes, "I bought the frame several months ago. Its paint was in good shape, but it was missing most of its decals. I had CyclArt leave the paint as is, scuffs and all, replace the missing decals and apply clear coat just to the decals. I'm pleased with it. Some of its parts are less than ideal, but I'll replace them as they become available."

ed. note: I believe the Leggerissimo was first offered in 1972, and that it was at least available until 1976 when it still appeared in the Brügelmann catalog. Click here to see the catalog and a photo of my own Leggerissimo and the story behind it.
