Btw, what's the history behind the 80s version of the Tour du Canada? When was that made? How did it differ?
Having little interest in the eighties TdC, I spent no time researching it. As for how did it differ?
The original TdC featured Reynolds chrome moly tub set, Campagnolo Record high flange hubs, crank set, transmission and seat tube. The eighties model was not chrome moly, did not sport high end components and did not offer a very good ride quality, compared to its sophisticated predecessor.
