It looks like a spacer is under the lock nut. The steerer may be too tall for the stack height of the headset and the spacer allows the use of the headset without having to cut down the steerer. If you repack the headset it would probably improve the appearance if you replaced the black spacer with a silver one.
Detto Vintage Bike
Hi all,
I bought an 'Eroica bike' during lockdown which I have been refurbishing and tidying up but was trying to get a bit more info about the bike and it's date of manufacture.
A BIT MORE INFO ABOUT THE BIKE:
It is a red Detto Pietro bike with chrome details on the forks and dropouts. I've found it difficult to find out which Italian frame builder made these frames for Detto, but what I do know is that it's made from unusual 'shaped' Columbus MS Gilco tubing, has a Cinelli stamp on the BB shell and Campag drop-outs. The tubing is amazing and it has DP stamped into the metal (not a decal) - headtube, fork tops, BB shell, all lugs etc.
Frame size
Seat tube: 61cm (c-c)
Top tube: 58cm (c-c)
Components
Chainset: Campagnolo Chorus
Pedals, Chainrings, Groupset: all Campagnolo Chorus
Hubs: Ofmega, with Campagnolo QR skewers
Rims: Mavic
Brakeset: Modolo Black finish
Stem: 3TTT, pantographed Detto Pietro
Bars: Ambrosio 13 Volte Campione Del Mondo
Saddle: Selle Italia limited edition Fausto Coppi
QUESTIONS:
The headset and bar stem looks as though it has been set up wrong (see pics) but it feels OK, I would love some advice on this and also wanted if anyone knew where I can get a long bolt for the handlebar stem to fit it?
The headset is the only bit of the bike I haven't stripped down as I am nervous about getting it back together if it has been built up incorrectly. There is a weird gap between the components of the headset. Does anyone know what is going on here?
Does anyone know anymore about these bikes or the year?. I know Detto made cycling shoes but there is little info about their bikes
