Here are some photos of my team pro I have owned since November of 2002. I bought it as a frameset off of ebay. The frame has the remnants of Columbus tubing stickers and simplex dropouts.
Ivan "Trois Tubes" has been very supportive and helpful. People like Ivan are what make this hobby great. I'm going to remove the SR bits and replace with simplex/stronglight/modolo components. However, given the lack of the unique Simplex front der. braze-on, I'm guessing this bike started life with Campy parts?
I'm 51 and became a bike rider in my early 20's. LeMond, Hinault, and Fignon were my heros. I lusted after the team pros, but couldn't afford one at the time (my first racing bike was a peugeot PSV-10). Like many of you, I raced, promoted local USCF races, and managed a bike shop before I changed career paths. Originally from Pennsylvania, I moved to Colorado 14 years ago, and still love to ride my bike!
I'm enjoying the website. Thank you!
Best regards,
Andy

Complete with the water bottles! Dang, I'm seriously jealous. You've got one gorgeous bike there. That blue Gitane color is just so striking and is definitely my preference.
I should add that my first racing bike was a 1984 PSV-10. |

Scott,
Thank you for the kind words. Funny how we both started out on PSV10s! I still have a soft spot for peugeots.... I took a look at your blog and really enjoyed it. Nice work!
