Thanks Rik I now have a few more rebuilds underway.
1989 7-Eleven Merckx team bike. Dura-Ace 7402 8 speed STI, Wolber Aspen rims. Almost complete just waiting for a Turbo saddle to turn up.
3 more Colnago Mexico's
One is an ESA star shaped tubing (a la Master) but this has 6 profiles rather than the masters 4.
Another Mexico with 4 crimps in the down tube & 2 crimps in the top tube.
The other mexico has 2 crimps in the down tube & 2 crimps in the top tube, plus 2 crimps on the inside of the chain stays.
All three of these will be 80's Campag Super Record/Record.
I need to 100% identify the last 2 Mexico's as i think one might be a Novo mexico?
A Kas Vitus 979 (later version frame with seat post held with a grub screw) which is now complete with Mavic groupset/ bars & Stem & SSC rims.
Another Vitus 9 tube carbon Frame (no Forks) anyone got any Vitus alloy forks with a 185-190mm steerer 1 inch threaded? (NB both the 9 tube carbon vitus frames I have use a 23mm seat post)
An early vitus 979 with the standard clamp type seat bolt. Which again will be a KAS with all Mavic groupset & SSC rims etc. when I get around to doing it.
good job I'm a retired old git.lol
