With the exception of the crankset, this could be my late father's bike. (His had a Super Record.) I sold it in San Diego after Dad died in 2012. Dad ended up with it because it was the only bike for sale near where he was living that would fit him. (6'5" and thickly built.) I always loved that bike's screaming over-the-top-ness, combined with that fanatical Japanese attentiveness.

Bikes: enough one would think, but thinking isn't my strong point
early 70's gitane traveler from a chromed frame from Robvolz. the only thing is either original or correct is the stem and seatpost QR.

And in the sprint for the monthly finish line - I finished up two more bi-colored bikes this weekend:
1996 Trek 2120
Looks almost like new and cheap as dirt because the tires were rotted and brifters were seized up.
I really like the 2xxx bonded bikes, but was disappointed to find that they all use the same frame geometry - so the "touring 20" only references the 105 triple group.
Late 90's Bertin Fast Road came to me as a mostly stripped frame.
Maybe Columbus Nemo tube?
Stripped the Campy Chorus "assemblage" off the GT Attack I scored a while ago but already planning another swap to get the Attack back rolling again.
