I had no intention of painting this bike at first but I found some paint that was pretty close to the Cinelli laser blue and prettied it up.
I think it turned out rather nice.

Parts are the same with some minor changes..

Modified Motobecane road frame.
Top tube chopped and dropped.
Head tube shortened about a inch and fork shortened to tighten up the front.
Rear fitted with track ends..
Rear wheel-Campagnolo Record on Nisi rim.
Front wheel- Campagnolo record road hub on Nisi rim.
Tires are Michelin Dynamic classics.
Handle bar is some chopped no name riser on a no name stem, headset is a cheapo Acor..
Saddle is a Ideal 80. Seat post is the stock Motobecane..
Andel cranks on a YST threadless BB.
MKS pedals and cages and Lapize straps
Gearing 52-17.

Cheers K-dregg!

Very nice work. Looks great. Too bad you didn’t post any pics of the joints. What color is it? Does it have a number or name?

Nice style. Plymouth came out with a silver blue matalic in 1967 also used on the Imperial. Love it.

mmm. i really like. the body lines are very aggressive. only things of concern are the bars and stem.

Well done, but it does need bullhorns instead of a riser.

Thank you for the comments..!
I might try a bullhorn set up if I find some I like but personally I think that risers looks right at home on a lo-pro frame.
And even if I put bullhorns or pursuit bars on it it would be no where near the riding position of a true lo pro or pursuit bike so it would be just as much of the mark as the risers..
