Not a vintage bike, but certainly a vintage-styled build. Unfortunately, I only have a zoom lens so only detail shots right now.
There's still a few bits and bobs I plan to change out to complete the build. I'm also thinking about buying a San Marco Supercorsa saddle along with some Benotto tape to make it more Italian.

Funny! I have that exact same Bell helmet as NOS in the original box. It was given to me and never used. The sticker inside states 'May 1991'. I wonder if that is the month of manufacturing or expiration?
Did you add the 'PARKPRE' decal to it?
Anybody interested?

I just take issue with the saddle...
That must be the month of mfg. Mine says February '91. Yes, I added the Park Pre sticker. If yours is NOS, I suppose it's not missing a big chunk of styrofoam above the left ear like mine.It's time I retire that helmet. (Bell was a sponsor of my junior race team, which is why there are also Bell stickers on the bike.)

Thanks! Made me laugh.Vey nice bicycle ! So sad someone spilled all that blue paint on it !
Yeah, I saw your comment in another recent thread about how you feel these are the most uncomfortable saddles you've ever ridden. Feels okay to me. To each (butt) his own.

I have a Turbo-Matic on my Cooper road bike and love it... there is something about the build on the original Turbo saddle that does not agree with my bits and think most find them to be rather comfortable and they are extremely well made.
+1 Have to agree . Rolls is going on the Grand Prix when finished , though .

Very nice bicycle you have there!

Are you the original owner?
I'm not usually a big fan of AL bikes...but that Klein looks really good. I agree with the 'bird, Flite Ti would look great (if it agrees with your backside)!
Goes without saying, that Tesch looks great as well...

This is my Raleigh Technium 400. Not the greatest bike in the world, but its my second bike.
let us know how it goes if you make the swap. i am sure you will like how it looks but like any saddle, they are not for everyone. the arione probably looks alright as well. i generally prefer saddles that are more modern than the bike. i think it modernizes them without taking away from traditional lines. sometimes it just works (like your wheels)
here is my 1996 tecno with a more modern SLR:
Stunning!
Not a vintage bike, but certainly a vintage-styled build. Unfortunately, I only have a zoom lens so only detail shots right now.
There's still a few bits and bobs I plan to change out to complete the build. I'm also thinking about buying a San Marco Supercorsa saddle along with some Benotto tape to make it more Italian.
I just picked up this 1988 Marinoni Special:
Nice Marinoni. Here is my 1989.
