Oh I think a rainbow of colors would be welcome, Just sold a 92 Allez Sport this summer at 56cm it was just a bit too small

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!

Thanks for the vintage correct tips! i figured it would be a white theme based on the brake hoods.
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?

Exact same size as yours, hence why I sent it your way. So, 23", right?

Yep the Allez is 23- must be the light the Sirrus looked like it had a longer head tube

I Just picked this up tonight. Unfortunately it's too big. Super clean though.
