52/42x18-12 (shimano 600 rear)
Absolutely new unused racer from Meral, miraculously survived in full original condition with only the very best Campagnolo etc components. The biggest kick apart from owning a brand new real racer 30 years old is building up a little speed, and ever so casually sailing past MTB geeks in full racing lycra "sponsorized "clothes who are absolutely flat out on 5000 buck machines with tractor tyres. I will even go as far as to hide behind a tree or else until a victim comes my way, let him past, then just after the crest of a hill give ten hard kicks on 52x14 and breeze past him at high speed. Am I a pervert or is this normal behaviour?
The only mods are chopped/upsd bars, Lyotard street pedals, cheapo saddle and rubbish brake levers (front brake to right hand). The brakes are Modolo Corsa.
If you're into handbuilt classics, like fully fitted 8 kg cyclotourists or featherweight racers from René Herse, I reccomend you look at some serious bike porn at http://www.reneherse.com/
