The Peugeot - what can be said? It's a 22-year-old bike with Campy Record, but still weighs about 17 pounds. Light even by today's standards.
My main rider is a Cinelli Spirit with newer Shimano Ultegra. Yeah, friction shift is good to relive old days, but STI can't be beat. I'd like to go German on my next bike. Storck makes a sweet carbon ride, but Jeez, $7,700 for just the frame? C'mon... 
Old steel still makes for the best ride.  |
How did you get thing down to 17 lbs with Stuper Record in an SL frame. The Mexico was what I lusted after. The red ones just the Russins used to ride in the Peace Race and the Coors Classic.
