poor old bikes are retired forever from the dirt..


Nice, I have 856 on elastomers but they are not the yellow elastomers you have but translucent - where did you get yours from - I want mine to look original like that. Thanks
 
Re:

I just picked this 757 expert up for free a couple days ago, frame seems mint apart from a year or so of undercover carpark soot. It appears that previous owner replaced the derailleur cable and didn't trim the excess this lead to it wrapping around the cassette and pulling the derailleur through the rear wheel and snapping the removable hanger and taking a few spokes with it for good measure. I love the girder front end, just wondering what I should do with it. Are they worth much?
