My favourite bike that i bought back in 1989. Frameset and full Campagnolo Athena groupset assembled in local bikeshop.Gone through some component changes over the years.1991 Dura-ace 7-speed gears added and Roval aero tubular wheelset for time trials.Original wheelset was Campy Athena hubs/Mavic gl330 tubulars.They were ridden until worn out long ago.Another tubular wheelset with Mavic gl330 and Mavic rd500 hubs for replacement of the originals.Third clincher wheelset in use for normal training rides: Mavic open pro rims and Shimano Tiagra hubs.
This was my only road bike for 17 years,so i'm kinda grown into it.

The late 1980's early 1990's graphics/colour schemes were top class.
I have seen the same scheme that i have in red & white+ black & white wich are both very nice too.
