RBoTM October 2018 - Theme: 1980 - 1999 Enter Now!

Let me post one of the first vintage bikes I bought: a 1992 (or '93) Carrera built by Podium. The guy I bought it from used to compete amateur races with it back in the early nineties and had it built with a C Record groupset. But after his competition years, this became a "spare bike" and used parts got replaced by cheaper equivalents (Veloce and other lower end stuff).

I replaced those "cheaper" parts by C Record components and scored some nice gadgets for my (sunny) sunday rides.

Specs:

frame: Carrera by Podium (Columbus EL OS tubing)
Forks: Columbus
Brifters, calipers, derailleurs, crankset, BB, headset, cassette: Campagnolo C Record 8 speed
Seatpost: Campa C Record
Saddle: San Marco Rolls
Bars and stem: Cinelli
Wheels: Mavic Sup on C Record
Pedals: shimano SPD (as the Carrera shoes only take SPD cleats...)


This is how it looks now:

Re: Pegoretti 1992/93

Hi,

I thought I'd add my Pegoretti that I recently built up. Dario told me that he built this frame in 1992/93 for a semi pro team in Verona called Riboli Val D'Ilasi. Dario told me he built a number of similar frames for this team. Built from top of the range French Excell tubing which he used on alot of the pro's frames back in the 1990's. I built it up with 3rd generation Campag C Record. Rides wonderfully! Enjoy!

Note: Dario didn't officially put his name on his frames until 1997 as he was a contract builder for many top companies. So this is quite a rare frame with his name on.

Wow. That is classy.

What a line up! Jeez. All winners!

A great line up so far definitely going to be some hard decisions made at the end of the month as only 1 vote per member.
Hopefully there's a lot more still to come.
Thanks to everyone so far.

So by my count, that’s 10, drawing from 5 countries; 1 Japanese, 1 Dutch, 2 British, 2 French & 4 Italian..... surely there’s a tidy German like a kalkhoff out there somewhere?
