Its all Dura Ace and the rims are Mavic open 4 cd.It rides well apart from the freehub slipping a bit but parts are obsolete for Dura Ace 7403 hubs so will have to live with it.
I need to shorten the front brake cable outer

That is gorgeous. accept the inevitable though that your Dura Ace is dying and treat it to some vintage campag0

Oops had a brain fart and its only the rear sprocket thats worn.
Campag is wrong for this replica LOL

Ooooh, I like that.“Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.” Hunter S Thompson0

TBH my knowledge of such things is Limited. I m aware of the Tri-color paint designs on the top models. but (mistakenly thought) that like the majority of Italian bikes of the time it ran Campag.
Is your rep of this 84 model?

Either way still love it.0 -
This is the bike that caught my attention and the more I looked at different photos I liked the way the tricolour worked and the Gianni Motta bikes could be any colour you wanted.
I have the original seat post which is a campagnolo chorus but it is to short so have used the Use K light off my mountain bike.0 -
I love the homemade stand

I like it. If you rotated your bars down a bit and moved the brake levers down too, I'd love it!
And, yeah, the stand's great!0 -
The stand looks very hillbilly but it seems like it does the trick!0

You should still be able to find a Dura ace rear sprocket somewhere, probably ebay would be the best bet.0

Same wheels as I have on my vintage Cinelli steel bike albeit with 501 hubs. mine has a mixture of Shimano 600 and Campag parts which is anathema to some but it works.Must have been a very early STI build c early 90's. planning on restoring it at some point as it rides beautifully.
Lovely bike you have there sir.0 -
