rsacilotto On the 770 (blue/green) the actual diameter of the threaded portion is 2.93 mm with a thin flat washer, So maybe it's a M3, and the threaded portion measures 6 mm long. It takes a 2 mm allen wrench. I'll take a look at the 760 later today but it's probably the same size.
Same size on the 760 but takes a 2.5 mm allen. Look like replacement bolts.

1983 760 new paint
Just got my 1983 760 powdercoated to deal with some rust, also got a small dent fixed and new cable guides before painting. I upgraded most components previously, it has 2000-era Shimano 9-speed parts. Still a great ride! It was too difficult to find a powdercoat color to match the original, so I chose Illusion Copper Plus from Prismatic.

Nicely done! It screams out for that white tape/saddle.

Call me MISTER Procrastinator
I got my 760 (85) back from Groody Bros Restoration today. It goes to the shop tomorrow for headset and BB installation. I looked back through this thread and noticed I had opened my big trap and said I was going to do this two years ago TODAY. Pics soon, but I want to say I am happy with the PC that Mark applied.

This '84 built, probably '86 sold 760 (or 770? hard to tell since it's been rebuilt in the last few years--though it is sporting Superbe brakes) followed me home today. A couple of small nicks in the paint here and there, but I couldn't say no for $40:

Nice, and the price makes it twice as nice! I would be interested in hearing how the ride compares/contrasts to your Marinonis

Just a taste. Incorrect color, incorrect decals

She's almost done. We just need a shorter stem and some white tape (Im a masochist) and zoom zoom. Took it out for a quick ride yesterday that turned into 23 miles. The ride is what I remembered from three years ago which is the last time it was ridden.

Finally. Even though I used almost all parts from existing stockpile, way more $ was spent than I intended. However, I like how it turned out. Hope you do too!
