Rarest of all, main

Updated 3.2.2008 Special Gracia to Signore A. Ross

This section is devoted to those illusively rare and hyper exotic parts and pieces that
few of even the most die hard vintage buffs have ever seen, must less ridden...
Indeed, there are skeptics and naysayers who even go so far as to doubt that these
items ever existed! Let these photos and drawings make believers of the dubious!

Legendary PMP cranks go
bi-centric Polchlopek

Campagnolo's unique
five-lever "Cambio Topollino."

Campagnolo's "Wing Nuzzio."
(Artist's rendition, no surviving examples known. )

Girardengo "tipo Cancello
della Prigione."

The extremely obscure
Universal "Double
Sidepull," Mod. 685.

Exceedingly rare Colnago
10-arm crank set. Maybe
not Campagnolo?

The controversial PMP
cranks in their final iteration.

Polish team freewheel and
"secret weapon" headset.

Campagnolo's rare rear derailleur, model "Record-Record"

The elusive "Egarim" bicycle
which stored reserve energy in
the frame tubes to be released
as needed on the up hills.

"..The last 'real' Masi
ever produced?"

Coppi on a 20" wheel bike!

Super rare! The unique
Campag Hi -Lo FRONT hub!

"Guideonstop" must mean
"for those who pray a lot"?

The unique ADS minimal

v
The ever-so-infrequently-seen
35 tooth 144 pattern chain ring....

Does anyone remember
these circa (maybe?) 1970s rims?

Can you supply "photos" or "scholarly drawings" of other equally amazing components?
Help us resolve those mysteries that have been whispered about in cycling bistros for decades!

Have you seen these?
From the 1940s...? The hard-to-find wood rims with aluminum filling... made in Belgium, Germany or Italy?	From the 1970s...? The actual Windsor (not Colnago) bike that was ridden by Eddy to the Hour Record	Or... Other rarities or obscurities?
