it is not a tsd bike. Looks to be 84 guerch. Campy super rec. Columb. slx etc...All original. He doesn't remember the exact year he got it.

Yup. My wife's fave ride is her 1981 with bags and bags of miles on it. I've considered refinishing it for her, but the chrome is (typical Italian 1970s-1980s) junk, and the QC on the brazework, is well, to be charitable, very poor (and the BB shell is brazed slightly out-of-plane!), so it would probably cost $1000 in paint, chrome, QC work, and decals to make the frameset be worth $350 afterwards (and the BB shell would still be crooked). I still might do it at some point, though, since I almost can't get her to ride anything else!

My wife's 1981 has neither of those bridges, just a plain biconical bridge with diamond reinforcement plates at the stays. She bought it new in 1981, but maybe it sat unsold for a while? I think it is the color of the upper one in your post (we've always called it "BMW blue").

sorryn extra posts. Puter troubles

SLX and SR bikes are definitely restorable, no matter who imported them IMHO.

again, sorry.
