Just finished a refresh of my 1985 Merckx Team Panasonic. 10 speed Campag Chorus groupset, Koolstop brake pads and 28c tyres with space for 30c if desired. Waxed the painted sections of the frame and lightly polished the chrome and the 38 year old frame buffed up nicely.

So some Tiagra triple on the Bruce Gordon. gugie expect to see this bike this winter after I get back to the states, this thing needs some center pulls after almost a $1000 of boutique brakes to find a set that only sorta work in the back.

I guess I can add some in again.
This was a winter pickup and has been identified as a mid 80's frame.
Merckx Corsa 01
This one was picked up as a NOS framese and built up with C-Record 8-speed. Another 80's era frameset.
Motta Personal 2001 R
Another winter local find. Had an Exage build on it but the frame was so nice looking I rebuilt with a mix of Dura Ace and Ultegra. Really nice rider now and a big weight savings.
Raleigh Supercourse Technium 1990.

They are handbuilt tubulars with White Industry hubs and I forgot who built the rims. By coincidence I just now got done taking those off and putting on some early Campagnolo Eurus clinchers. This change added 1 lb 3 ozs to the bike but I'm curiuos to see how it feels with these wheels on it. Those tubulars are light and nice but never really blow me away for feel while on the road.

My '82 Raleigh Super Record mixte build, Bella:
Bella and Rio Grande
I wanted a drop-bar, step-through road bike with brifters and clipless pedals, so I built my own, and am loving riding her.

I put this bike in another thread before but never this on. I don't think it's not that old to be vintage (2002) but the style is all classic.

Picked up this iconic frame for next to nothing as it had a small dent and the paint was in bad shape. Ended up repainting the frame and updating. I love the results! The only things that are original are the head tube badge and the seat post cinching bolt.

Where did you get that stem set-up? What is it called?

No idea, the bike came that way. The stem telescopes fore-and-aft. A bolt fits into a series of pinholes on the underside to lock the stem into place. It seems like a nifty idea, but in practice I can't imagine needing to adjust that length...umm...ever? Yeah, that adjustment mechanism doesn't get much use.
Here's a closer shot:

Cross-posted in C&V like there's no tomorrow, once again I present Mrs. ascherer's '75 Grand Jubile Mixte sporting a 2x9 setup. I found this bike in near-original state almost two years ago, and she rode it last season. She loved the ride quality and fit but wanted modern shifting. I wanted her to have brakes that didn't require quite so much hand strength. Now it's got a compact VO crankset, long-reach Tektros, Tiagra RD and shifters, I think there's a Microshift up front, I forgot, dynamo lighting and MKS Sylvan pedals. I did the work over the winter but thanks to rotator cuff work she he rode it for the first time this weekend and it passed muster. I'm very happy with the performance and the aesthetics. I think it got modernized without sacrificing elegance.
