Nice work!!! It seems my bike is well represented in photo's already. If you require more or better ones, just let me now.

So - from your excellent work I can assume my bike is probably a 55cm Professional (5A), and was built in 1984 ("Z" on the BB shell, as well as "PAT 84" on the RD).

Cool.

BTW - don't know if this is a big deal or not, but the original owner gave me a NOS roll of original bar tape with the bike.
