I've been working on this 84' 770 that I got a month ago for $70 at a garage sale with the intention of flipping it for a nice little profit. Finally got all the parts I needed, everything cleaned and lubed. Slapped some new rubber on it and put it all together this afternoon.
With big $$ in my eyes of the impending sale, I hopped on and took her out on the road for a quick check to make sure I had the derailleurs tuned up right. Wouldn't you know it, I got it right on the first try and she shifted thru every gear like butter.........an hour later I pulled up to my place with one big problem on my hands. I don't think I can sell this bike.
Now, I've never ridden a top of the line Italian bike, or anything made of carbon fiber, but I do have a nice little stable that holds a sweet 720 and a Motobecane GR that is one of the smoothest bikes I've ever ridden, but this damn 770 is in a whole different class.
Hell, the damn thing is even too small for me and it feels right! Normally I ride a 60cm, but this 58cm somehow fit's like a glove.

Ah well, enough of my rambling. Here's a few before and after pics. I'm not totally done with the rebuild yet, but I just had to vent a little.
