I love starting a new thread, because that means it's new bike day! This one is special enough (and well priced enough) that I spent my day driving from Tulsa to Salina, KS and back. It came from an estate sale and was paired with a Super Course Mk II that I haven't really looked at, yet.

Enough of the chit chat ... on with the first pictures!

It measures 56 cm c-c on both seat and top tubes. Perfect for me!

It has its Campy hubs.

Saddle looks good, as does the B17 on the Super Course.
Any cryptographers on the thread?

My theory: guy had a spectacular race bike, guy got old, guy triple-ized and switched to 27 rims with a rack.
