I will post a photo when l learn how to. The bike was repainted in 1979 in a metallic green and gold. Probably depicting Australian colours. In 1983 the wheels and group set were raided for the Daccordi so the frame sat in a garage for the next 30 years. I have now fitted it with campy wheels 27`` and campy steel crank with GS derailluars. The brake levers and gear selectors were with the bike, SG levers and campy end of bar shifters. Great bike to ride.
Welcome, [MENTION=378224]hubert288[/MENTION]! Sounds good. It's always nice to have some history with the bike. Looking forward to the pictures. The best way to show them here is to upload them to a picture hosting site (such as FLICKR, or Photobucket), and then link to them from here using the 'Insert Image' icon. Choose 'From URL' and un-check 'Retrieve File etc.'. Then they show up nice and big.
