Hi Taz,

I looked at Joe Bell's website to get an order-of-magnitude budget to bring your frame back to its original state of finish leaving it at 130 for a modern Campy build. That's the only way I'd want to have one, so if I pre vail in the home budget discussion, it'll be gorgeous again.

Glad you found another RS to fill your void!

Dave (et al),

The serial number is the clue to the age - but mainly it was Richard tellin g me he built it around 1977 when I showed it to him at Cirque two years ag o.  The serial number is stamped in the fork steerer and is too faint to pi ck up in the pictures with my point and shoot.

I know re-spacing the rear is frowned upon by some.  On this frame it was d one before I obtained it, along with the repaint.  But I also have an '87 S achs that I had professional spaced and it's my daily rider with Campy 9 er go.  I didn't have any problem with chain alignment on this when built wi th Dura Ace 9spd.  It uses typical modern short raach brakes.

Although I like it - I've (reluctantly) decided to sell my bikes that aren' t the best fit.  (Which means I may be also selling a Kvale, Bruce Gordon a nd Fuso in near future.)

I love to see this returned to it's original finish and logos.

Hope this helps.
