Beautiful bikes! All of mine except the '85 Allez SE and the '86 Allez SE are boxed up pending our move back to MO from FL next year. I don't have enough posts to include pictures, yet, evidently. ;-)
The cool thing is...there is still a market for these bikes! They come up on fleabay every now and then and don't seem to hang around long.

I have the Teal 87 I just picked up from Goodwill a few weeks ago for 50 bucks.
has plenty of battle scars but I think I'll just do a buff and roll.
those reds are pretty though

Not bad! 'Vintage correct" would be a white Selle Italia saddle and white bar tape, with white cable housings. Looks like you did very good for $50! I paid more than that for mine...and that was before the repaint! These are nice bikes and I hope you enjoy this one! I'd post a pic of mine, but don't have enough posts!

This is definitely a bit of a frankenbike based on the Cinelli bars and stem, 600 cranks and mismatched rims. at least the hubs match.
do have the proper cranks in my stash. I have a white Vetta seat and white bar tape. everything else is gonna have to do unless i feel like hunting for more correct parts.
i may post a build thread just for fun when i get the time to play with it more. Winter Project!

Since I noticed the Allez posts here too, here's my 88 in the queue for a rebuild. Original down to the tires.

My Sirrus. I keep forgetting the year. '87 I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong and forgive any jankiness with the setup. Still getting it dialed. It's also going to be a rider and not a show queen so focus will be on functionality.

@tricky like the black and red combo, is that a 23 or 25" frame?
