Ok this is the first of my Retro Bike builds that I will be posting in the next few weeks. Superconfex-Yoko (1987–1989) (an ultra Rare Bike in these Team colours) The team was officially known as Superconfex – Kwantum – Yoko – Colnago. 3 stage wins in the 1987 The Tour de France that year, 2 by “Jean-Paul van Poppel” and also victory in the points classification that year.
As a note of interest these are the 2nd Generation Deltas.

Ridden!! Not at my age 66. Anyway If I took any of these out & let them out of my site for 5 mins I think they might very well disappear.
BUT I'm Hoping to build a Kirk ATB up to ride to the Pub & back a 4 mile round trip. Thats when I can get hold of a suitable frame.

That is absolutely stunning... :shock:

Possibly the best team name ever, too. I hope you've got the kit to match the bike!

Edit - I wrote that just as you were replying to oldmuthariley... At least the bike won't get t-boned by a driver.

Rich Thank so much for your kind comments about the bike, in answer to your question NO I don't have the team kit, but keep seeing it on e-bay mostly re pro The original team kit was made by DECCA.
Like your comment about not getting t-boned that made me chuckle.
Chris

Can't wait to see your other bikes - just the era that i love! The late 80s and the early 90s hold some great cycling memories for me.
I used to rush home and watch the Tour on Channel 4 and lust after all those bikes :D

Are all the bikes in your signature in as good condition as this? If so you should open a museum :D

one did appear on E-Bay a Last week (only the 2nd one I've seen in 25 years) It sold for £1590 buy it now. The only difference from mine was that it only had the one chain stay chromed, where as mine has the complete rear triangle chromed. It did also have the curved front forks.

Hi Grilla yes they are all in about this condition or better.
Hope you like them, when I finally get around to posting photos of them all.

That's quite a lot. You've still yet to reveal where you got yours from though? Or is it TOP SECRET?

Not any where near as much as some modern plastic ones. You just need time & patience to source the correct parts in v/good to mint condition. I'm fairly lucky in that I have loads of contacts being an ex pro mechanic & have owned a bike shop for years. So I tend to know where I sold stuff over the years.
A tip for what its worth, there are a lot of people trying to pass off C-Record parts that are in fact Croce D'Aune & in some cases Chorus. I personally wont buy anything thats been polished ( ie the anodising & the decals polished off)
ALSO more importantly whats happening now is people are polishing off the etched logo & then getting the parts engraved with the Campagnolo logo & passing them off as first edition parts, & trying to charge the earth for them. Look on E-bay & see just how many engraved 1st edition c-record parts are now suddenly becoming available. I'll let you guys decide if its genuine or not.
Here is a perfect example of what I'm referring to, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130607164386? ... 500wt_1413 This person is actually saying its been engraved BUT what happens if someone decides not to tell ? when its been done to c-record parts?
