I'm loving this Mondia thread!

Here are a couple pics of my Mondia Tour De Suisse. These were reportedly for a Finn Air promotion in 1973/74 and Ridgeway Bicycles in New Jersey bought some. They sold them for $225 apiece. I've yet to see another one of these pop up, but given the limited market for Mondias it is not in high demand. The serial number is 179441.

The only thing original on the bike is the Reynolds 531 frame, 3ttt Record stem, and Sugino Maxy cranks. I bought it that way. The drop outs are not Campagnolo. I put Velocity Aerohead rims laced to Suzue Pro Max hubs and Pasela Panaracers on it, NJS pista bars, and a Mafac Racer on the front. MKS Sylvan pedals. I took off the VO headset thatcame with it and replaced it with a Tange Levin with lower stack height.

It's a fixed gear 46T/17T. This bike is incredibly fun to ride.
