Somec Air

Just picked this up last week and had the bike shop do the full tune up. Got new housing, bar tape, new levers, tires, Cinelli/San Marco saddle, toe straps and matching Dura Ace 7400 pedals. It's all 7400 except for the levers (got new Dia Compe white/drilled levers). Has Dura Ace 7400 hubs and Campy rims... Can't wait to see how it rides! Here are some pics... I really love the fork and paint job...

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.

Cool pantos and seat stay treatment! Never seen any exactly like that.

Thanks

Thanks, guys! Just weighed the bike with cages, pedals and bottle cage and it's exactly 21.6 lbs. Not bad... can't wait to see what SLX rides like.

FYI, according to Somec (I emailed them), this bike is from the mid to late eighties...
