With a damn MAVIC groupo! Bars (351s) Brake hoods, seat post, bottom bracket, crank, Open 4CD rims, Mavic Hubs (F&R). A pac-nw style installed rear fender.
A freaking sweeeeeet classic Seattle Cyclocross bike. From way back.
And yeah I made them let me take pictures. And I was assured it wasn't going to be locked up outside.
Check out the shots (they ain't pro and stuff - this is just the bike stashed Point and Shoot in hurry up take pictures mode)
The bike is probably easily dated by the components. I wish I could put my hands on my old Mavic archives. I think they are in storage somewhere. I have the catalogs that these components are listed in. I'm going to target that it is probably vintage 1985-1990. Not a touring frame (no braze-ons), steeper head tube and longish chainstays but too short for touring.
The person I saw with it wasn't the owner, he was returning it to a Seattle native working here. I'm going to have to track down "the REST of the story" one of these days.
I'm not wild about the paint but i'm really really excited by this bike. How freaking amazing.
What a brilliant way to start the week!
So cool...
