Must be 85ish on the Casati? Sweet!! And the Colnago's not bad either ....

Colnago looks like a 92-94ish Art Decor Masterllight with an HSC1...really flexy fork but actually durable and comfortable, I still have one with curved legs I'd love to send to a good home with a short headtube.

I'm not sure - it was during the Giro stage that Andy Hanpsten won, this guy got passed by Hampsten.

I bought that in 85 but that frame had been sitting for a few years at the importer that much I knew. I bet its was an very 80s frame. I raced that thing like hell. It was my first real race bike. I kept most of the original components (Suntour Superbe. All I can afford) in a box and found all the pantograph SR like the first day I saw it in the show room years later when I had a few bucks in my pocket.

Late 90s Masterlight. It has a crack hanger. The chain got sucked into the dropout and it pulled the hanger caused it to have a small crack. I love that fork. Flex or not, I can rider that fork all day long. I have one on my Look 171 which I really loved riding. Not stuff by any means, but it can be ridden all day long. Typical French with a longish top tube.

You have a Look 171? Who would of guessed? :cool:

The KG86 is on my top 5 want-list:

Tom Kellog did my Technos dropout, including perfect paint, for 350ish. I know you're on the opposite coast, but still...

Does anyone have a source for Shimano small parts? I roached the outside seal on the freehub body of an XT hub, and I have looked and looked for a replacement. 3 bike shops and lots of internet digging have given me no luck at all.

Dunno if this is for the right FH but anyway I bet the seal is on eBay somewhere

They look fat with those numbers hanging off their rears. Look at #70. Talking about catching air, that will take two miles off your avg. speed? I would be scared sihtless.

Why? Tell me more? Is it because its a Hinault special? When I first saw that, I wanted one so badly but couldn't justified getting one because I had just gotten a new bike. But the 171 or Jalabert special will always a little space in my heart. That was such nice riding bike.

Not too many people know what the heck is Look KG 171.

Having ridden neither, I suspect the 171 is a much better frame than the 86 given it is 10 years of carbon-frame development later. But the 86's connection to Hinault, Lemond, the 80's, etc. is the attraction. That said, I'd take a 171 in a heartbeat. I happened to find a 1997 Look catalog at a swap meet recently:

Cool! "Fixie"? If not put your Deltas on it ;)

Not really fitting with the recent old school trend in this thread, but here's my new flame... Kind of emotional to relegate old bikes to the shed or ice cream runs w/the kids - we did a lot suffering together!
