Well, lesson learned. Don't go browsing for Giordana's right after you get back from a wonderful ride on one. When you do it just may result in another irrational buy. But I'm so glad I did it, LOL!

This is a direct match to the 1991 Giordana Polaris in my catalog so pretty easy to tie down the year on it. So now I'm rocking a 1989, this one, and a later 90's one. Life is good.

This one has a really low mileage Dura Ace 7400 7 speed setup. My first time with one of these Dura Ace stems and I quickly found out none of my 6mm wrenches were long enough to adjust it.

The paint's pretty dang good for a 27 year old bike. Decals are a bit dry and brittle but not enough to worry about. The Turbo saddle looks really good so I'm guessing it's a new one. That will probably be replaced as I've never gotten them to work for me.

I should get it out real soon. Suffering with strep throat right now so my riding effort is way off each day. Once I feel normal again I'll take this out for it's first, racy ride!

As pictured right now with the cages and pedals the bike is 21 lbs, 12 ozs. That's respectable for a Columbus SLX frame.

Now for the pics:




54 cm according to the specs in the catalog.



Paint's good and that all important pump peg



Matching fork, nicely pantographed



More pantographing, the paint is pretty clean around the top of the seat lug.



Internal cable routing, Columbus SLX tubing.



Turbo saddle in great condition



My favorite Cinelli bars in the perfect 42cm size.



Ready to cut the wind and make some time.



There's that standard Billato Brake Bridge, holding a sweet set of Dura Ace Calipers.



Digging the front fork.
