Well, Les' Lucy Electric Blue with full pantographing and the Playing Card graphics.

It's by first attempt at such things, and it was pretty fun and low stress, since it was on a used and already modified ring. I think this bikes done at this point.
And I love the ride. Can't really feel a difference from my '76 Super, which I think differ more in tires than in anything else.

The Super model is a classic because of the storyline(s) in its history, a well balanced all around racer for its time. Surely many writings are out there with such negs as being over rated, low quality etc., though I rather call them flattery in jealous terms.
Tire, wheelset, bar and stem to riders taste and they bring a smile every time.
