Stunning color. The light reflection and shadows really accentuate the shape of each tube. You'll have to post a video of you riding it in a full tuck! I'm curious ... how the seat post/binder works ... |

Change nothing. Great bike that is difficult to make better. Only a modern sram chain and modern cables will do anything to this excellent bike.
Ditto the above ... you have a great bicycle there ... |

The 151bcd/170s will be replaced with 144bcd/175s campy NR ... as the 42T inner chain ring is needed for the steeper climbs. The bearing races on the campy bottom bracket are shot so a french-threade ... |

Originally purchased as a 66' Professional Elite, the parts and frame detailing suggests that it may be an earlier '64 Superbe? After finally finding the storage box of parts for this bike, the assem ... |
