Nice, but either the brake levers are too low, or that's one funky bar bend.

Very tastefully done Robtown. I'm happy to see you preserved the non-aero's on this one - that and the yellow cabling on sky blue work very nicely together and are in keeping with that early 80's touring bike vibe.

People today tend to think touring bikes have to be triples with lots'a racks, but "back in the day", I think the sport-tourers were more the norm.

I added the crankset dust caps, new cables, new tires, and new yellow tape. Everything else is original - even the yellow housings.
I did tear her down, replace hub and headset bearings, and spend a few hours polishing. The pedals and BB spin like silk.

Looks nice! Could be a Touring, Competition, or Super Carrera model. Check Mark Bulgier's bike catalog website and pick one. How about some close-up pix of the frame? All those models along with the Profesional had similar features (chromed long-point lugs, fast-back seat stays) and tight geometry, and were modeled on the Cinelli Super Corsa. I bought what I believe to be a Super Carrera frame a couple months ago, which I plan on restoring as a racer.
