tried something different with the saddle, not sure if i pulled it off or not. i think it will grow on me. still need to upgrade the skewers and handlebars, but its good for now.

Looks Fantastic! The Regal saddle looks really classy on the bike. Sort of the aesthetic flourish that you'll expect on an Italian race bike of that vintage.Bars have that nice, agressive "Gimondi" bent to it and looks to be holding it's own on the bike. What brand is it?

I've got a beautiful set of Record/Mavic GP4 tubs ready to ship.
Clean some glue, mount the new tubs. Ride into the sunset with a big grin.
The Colonel has good eyes, and Six Jours good taste I'd say.
But is a bicycle ever really finished?

I'd have kept my mouth shut, but worrying about the wrong brand of skewers when you've got a big ugly pair of clipless pedals tightened into Super Record cranks is just too much. He could at least go with these.
Let me know down the road if you need something.

I say ride the clipless...at least you'll be riding! Hell...I run SPD on ALL my bikes (except my winter beater with beartraps and powerstraps)...
Saddle looks fine, brown suede or black Regal would have probably looked "better".
My 2c.

The bars on there are specialize bars. The pedals are
On ther because I like having one pair of shoes that are compatible with all my road bikes. I know they don't look right on there but I love
Riding clip less pedals. And don't want different shoes
