brooks and modolo parts up front
Seat and wheels are new rest of the parts are between 15-35 years old.
Also have a temporary seatpost. I got the wrong size. So I need to hunt down another one. Campagnolo aero should be there soon enough.

I have to look....but I may have some old Campy stuff from the 70s.....
Very late 60s and early 70s vintage. My first "real" bike was a '72 Mondia Special. Reynolds 531 tubing, Nervex chrome lugs, NR derailures & cranks, with TTT stem and handle bar set, Brooks saddle, and Mafac "racer" center pulls.
Put a lot of miles on the old girl. Now she is sporting full Ultegra set up. Still rides like a dream.

Boy, talk about memories. Nice bikes. I had a Gios Torino with sprinklings af Campy and Shimano.I used to race back in the 80's and would put about 600 miles on a week. Then, when I got stationed in Cali I locked it up outside of my room on base and next morning it was gone. Damn! I still miss that bike!

My road bike is an early 80's Trek 760 (full Suntour Superbe)
bought new from Livermore Cyclery in maybe '82? I bought a
Campy NR rear derailleur a couple years ago, but didn't like it
nearly as well as the Suntour. It now sits in my parts box.
Gonna be nice in Chicago this week. Let's see, teener or bike,
teener or bike?

You could make a nice single speeder out of that - nice rig. Something about "pure" bikes that I just love.
