Yep, thanks - it's genuine 1988, Campy Chorus throughout (inner chain ring had to be be replaced after 20 years and about 60000 km, no Campy, and same story with 6 speed cluster, regrettably) but other parts still original. Thought of having her resprayed in Saronni Red but local cycle shop said "You'd be a fool", so she stays as is and now I've managed to get Chorus c-era pedals to put on her again - just need some Chorus toe clips, size L.
But almost 25 years on the road - and now about 80000 kms (even though I didn't ride from '95 to '05) - and she's still the love of my life (the wife doesn't read this forum!).
Cheers and thanks for the complis, Fahrgestell. I just wish I had been able to afford the chromed lugs, like your bike had, back in '88 and now as an OAP, finding her a sister is a financial no go!
