Trusty Waterford and two other oldies but goodies
I finally got a chance to take some pics of my vintage machines.
The Raleigh is a bike I picked up in around 94/95 from a guy I worked with whom had it since new in the mid/late 80's. The frame was hanging on the wall until recently as I used the 105 components to build the Ciocc frame. I then used components off a early 90's Trek 1100 to build up the Raleigh again. Nice riding bike and in very good condition. I have an old compact from Panasonic 2400DX with the 24' front tire and 700 rear with 105 components which is too small for either of us, so will probably used those components to put the Raleigh closer to original. The stem is a bit too modern but needed it to fit the thicker bar I had on hand.
The Waterford 2200 with the flade paint job and DuraAce is my good to ride and is a 99 Frame which my local LBS built for me in 2000.
The Ciocc is probably a mid 80's frame and is nice condition. Has a few chips here and there but this can be addressed easily. The bike is running the 105 components that were on the Raleigh. Stem is adjustable as this frame is a little larger than my other two, so trying to find the right position before searching for the right one. Again another nice bike and a joy to ride.

The CIOCC is cool. Very understated. And a downtube shifting triple? I like it.

Is that the original paint on the Waterford 2200? Very nice!

Before I bought the Waterford I have the Raleigh fitted with a 105 triple and so that's how it got fitted to the Ciocc. Mind you I've adjusted the FD stops so I'm only using the middle and outer rings on the the Raleigh and Ciocc for now.
The Waterford paint scheme is original and from what I've heard very few had that paint scheme. The yellow in the pic seems a bit bright but in person it's a little more subdued. I saw the guy that originally built the bike for me and he says he wishes he'd pickup a few more frames with the flade paint job at the time.
