Pinarello Montello
I am new here and I see this is an older conversation. What the heck…
I have a 1987 Pinarello Montello SLX.
A classic for sure.

That would be Stronglight 93 and 105. Ofmega Mistral is very nice too, if a bit aggresive in shape. Some 3-arm cranksets from Stronglight, TA or SR look pretty cool too. Then again, I'm biased towards C&V bikes and components.

I built up a Puch Mistral NOS frame and fork with Ultegra 11sp. Really lush ride. 9.4 kg. My lightest bike to date. (Weight weenies might scoff at it, but ye know, steel is real and all that 
).
Frame is likely 35+ yo and was never built up. Was a delight to build it up.

My Winter 22-23 Project is finished …besides the usual detail/cosmetic work, the major change was the Tri/Road cockpit change.

I used this bike to break the 300-mile record across the state of Wisconsin back in 2012 at age 54. It's been used for many double-centuries and 100-mile road races. I'm 64 now, and it's still fast and comfortable for long days in the saddle.

Thanks for sharing! Is that your preferred tire for road riding?

I ride Conti GP 5000 as well. I just snagged a pair of 30mm from Planet Cyclery for $40 each, but they must have sold out. 30mm wide is the max width my Canyon Ultimate can accommodate (on paper).

Litespeed M1 with all different kinds of upgrades since purchased in 2013 and a Viner track bike that I built over the winter 3 years ago. It has a mix of components but mostly period correct.

My recently built 1x carbon road bike. Almost entirely built out of AliExpress components. Though I have a preference for Shimano RDs and disc rotors:

Brand new Waltly custom titanium road bike. At around 9.4kg, it's the lightest bike I've ever had, and certainly the fastest.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. More details here: Mystery Japanese frame, early 80's (?) Suntour SuperbePro
