You're right. I believe they had other colors too. I've never seen the Mistral derailleur in the wild. I've only seen them on the Disraeli Gears website.

Interesting looking pedals. I've never seen those before. It looks like the pedal body is that carbon plastic that they used in the 80's? If so that probably makes them really light. I loved that type of pedal design. Both Campy and Shimano had similar designs. The Dura Ace ones are some of my...

Interesting. You learn something new everyday. I had a 1960 Bianchi Specialisima a long time ago. It had an interesting internal headset that was pretty cool.

That's a beautiful frame for a reasonable price especially considering that he just retired recently. If I wasn't thinning my herd it would be very tempting. I've got a early 80's Zullo track bike from just before the TVM era that is just a wonderful bike to ride. I always enjoy seeing other...

Unfortunately it's not my size. What is the significance of the x4 designation? Just wondering 🤔 Something to do with the Columbus SLX???

Love this bike. I dig the blue and yellow that's going on and the groupset! Those pedals are something though. I still have a lumpy scar on my shin just below my knee cap from pedals like that. 😂 I got the scar 30 some odd years ago while trying to do a no footer on the first jump I tried after...

07734 424 911 You know you're old if you know what that means... 😂

Just going by what I was told when I bought it. Either way it was way too tubby, too steep of a seat tube angle and had too long of a wheelbase for my tastes off road wise. So I donated the frameset to the local co-op.

Here's my old 93 Trek 700 I converted and I had a blue 1990 Trek 750 that converted and used to tour on till I crashed it. I'm currently on a 90's Bianchi boardwalk that's pictured above^^^

Dunno if this counts as it came with 700c wheels but it was a flat bar with a triple chain wheel originally. And yes I know that's a lot of drop for most people but it's a 56cm effective top tube and that's what I take according to a "Lemond" fit and was a cat. 2 racer. I've taken it up places...

I think I submitted this wrong??? Maybe the mods can move it? Sorry.

I love Deore DX. Most defo an underrated group set! One thing that's cool is the rear hubs cassette body can be replaced with a modern Deore 510 body and you can run 8-10 speed. I can't remember if I used the 510 race and seals or if the DX fit. But everything works perfectly.

That's a sweet bike. I've seen the Olympic funny bikes but never a Cinelli wannabe bike like that. I've only run across mass production models like the Eclair and Legend. Lotus bikes are definitely a sleeper bicycle brand that doesn't get the love they deserve. The Lotus Legend I had was a...

This is an old thread... But I was running a Campagnolo C9 chain on a Suntour Superbe 7/8 speed crank set with stock chain rings and a Shimano Dura Ace 7401 rear derailleur that had a modern Shimano 7 speed cassette out back. My shifts were flawless both front and back.
