Jehovah's Witness, that's huge! At your size, a 24 pound bike is just going to flex. I'm not sure there's much you can do, short of a custom frame.

I really like your paint job. I'm pretty sure they came in that color combination, so I was surprised to see it wasn't original.

OK I'm done with the personal collection for the rest of the year.

This bike showed up on CL for a great price. I saw it and really wanted it. Luckychow99 beat me too it but gave me a good price on it so I'm happy to have ended up with it after all. I thought it was gone for ever.

The color is not original but my favorite color has always been orange so I'm thrilled with it and after watching Drillium Dudes build of his Orange Davidson I cant wait to really do a nice build on it.

It has Super record Stickers on it and I feel safe in assuming it had a full Group. It still has Super Record brakes, seat post, head set and front hub. It also has Suntour bar ends, Cinelli bars and Stem. Crank is a Suntour Cyclone wit ha record FD and a Crane RD.

Couldn't wait to play with it and I was in the shop pulling out some parts I had been holding onto for a while as soon as I got home. I threw Cyclone 6000 Derailleur set on it to replace the gummed up Crane. Had a brand new set of Michelin Erillium 2 I had picked up for a bike that I sold before they were mounted.
Excuse the pictures with the clutter background. My camera also has the knack of making things look worse then they are when using the flash.

If by any chance that frame is a ~54cm, I would be very interested...it looks a lot bigger than that though :(

haven't dated it yet but I'd guess early 80s Univega Super Strada with FULL Dura Ace EX, nitto handlebars, araya rims. Pretty sure the frame is Tange Champion, but the tubing sticker is gone :(

Seller went to town disassembling bike, even tore down the rear wheel because the spokes were rusted out. He spent a lot of time cleaning it up, but then lost interest in the project before he got it back together. From the looks of things, before the teardown it didn't get ridden much but was definitely neglected in storage.

The frame is my size.. not sure if I should spend the $ to complete the build and keep it, or continue to tear it down and sell it piece by piece or as a grouppo.. i know some of these DA bits garner some interest.... like, that stem is gorgeous! Would also be pretty sweet to put the DA drive train on a mtb drop bar conversion.. i dunno what i'm gonna do honestly hahaha

[edit.. actually, after measuring, it's 62cm c-c.. a touch on the large size for me. I will probably end up parting it out and/or putting some bits on other keepers]

I say build it up, spokes are cheap. If you are missing any tools I probably have them and can help.
