Here is my 1975? Woodrup, serial number #3360. Model unknown for now. The last bits of the 531 decal are hanging on for dear life. Campy droupouts front and rear and nice lugs! The paint is a little distressed in places, but I really love the color.

I had the Chris King headset and DuraAce parts hanging around from a free Trek 2000 I got on Craigslist, except for the $30 brifters which I got locally. This bike rides amazing! The old DuraAce is leagues better than Sora from 2002, and the brakes actually stop me! I'm in love.

Although I have taken many bikes apart and re-assembled, this is my first "from the ground up' vintage build. I still want to add fenders, and I may as well adapt the frame for recessed brake mounting sometime soon while I'm at it. But for now, enjoy! I'll post pictures soon with the silver Mavics.
