Somehow I started to thinking about my bike and the place I bought it in 1982. It's a Vigorelli by Paris-Sport and I've never seen another like it--until I went to your website and there was the exact bike, same color and decals, although mine doesn't look like that anymore. However it is still equipped with almost the same mix of Campy Nuevo Record/Shimano Durra Ace that I had in those days.

I think I met the builder and I thought he was Argentinean because I was wearing an Argentina World Cup shirt and he loved it. Argentina had recently won the World Cup. He might have also just been a guy in the workshop. I new that Cuevas worked there but I didn't think my bike was their top model so I didn't think that he made it. I saw bikes that had triangular cut-outs where the frame tubes met the dropouts and someone told me they were by Cuevas. Vic sold me the bike and I think I picked mine out before it was painted. ---------------------------------------
