While we're showing off TdF's, here's mine:



Straight stock 1971-74, except that I've upgraded the wheels to the optional Campy Tipo hubs, and the shift levers have been changed from the American-issue Prestige to the (so I understand) European-issue Criterium. It's also got a Favorit brown leather seat since this picture was taken.

You're going to love the way that bike rides. I'm about to roll over 2500 miles on mine in a bit less than four years, which has it in a three way fight for second highest mileage in the stable.
