My apologies to those who have seen this bike before...

No apologies necessary. That bike is loaded with cool!

Plus 10 K! I don't think I had seen that before. Mucho cool. Those bars and stem are amazing.

We ended up having some fun with the photo shoot so we took that Ofmega derailleur and put it in one of our banners on the website. First is the banner and the second photo is of the one we took originally. I"ll try to find some more pics later.

Great close-ups, Ex Pres. That's an awfully sharp lens. What is it?

Wow!!!

Please tell us the story of these pedals.
They look almost NOS
Do you know approximately how much they are worth?

I love this thread. Such pretty jewelry that I would never see otherwise.

I don't think that's a Record. Nut= Record; C-clip=something else

Awhile back I bought a bike that had fallen through the cracks of the local bottom feeders, it was a mid 80's Vitus 979 with a semi-weight-weenie built. It had a mostly Campy Super Record group with the addition of the Assos pedals, Campy alloy freewheel, EDCO BB, alloy BB and single wall Mavic G40 rims with lightweight clinchers. I paid almost fair market value for the bike...$850? I bought it when I was on 'flip hiatus' so this one escaped my spreadsheet. I sold of the pedals and freewheel to fund the purchase, I think made $725 from both so my cost bases for the bike is $125.

In regards to the pedals, I think they were only made for 2 years in the mid 80's, titanium spindles with oil ports in the body and a weight of ~240g for the pair. Value is ~$450.

Ha ha, you'll be surprised. It's a pocket Nikon Coolpix, about $100 retail when I bought it. My daughter took it off to college (art school), where it promptly disappeared and had to be replaced with a proper artist-worthy Nikon DSLR. I definitely need to replace it with another one.

Jim, I may have mixed up the pics of business end of the Chorus/Record skewers from the post right above.

Well, that certainly is a good lens on that Coolpix. I'm amazed at how good point-n-shoot cameras have become. Recently acquired a
small Canon S-110 and the thing blows my mind.
