Nice looking bike! Nice job on the photography, too; so many photos
people aren't clear enough to really read the labels, etc. Did you
use a digital or film camera?

Thanks for the compliments everyone.. if only the guy that
did all the work could hear you :-)

All I've done is removed the nice pedals as well as putting on
a poxy saddle!
I WILL be swapping that saddle out, purely because it looks
so horrid on this bike.

Shots were taken with a 4MP (digital) Canon Powershot G3,
un-touched other than the resizing, etc. done by JAlbum.

Very nice. I can't identify the maker from the lugs, but that fork crown
looks like some I have seen on old Paramounts. No, that's wrong. I just
checked Classic Rendezvous, and the Paramounts there all had solid fork
crowns and Nervex lugs. Still, the crown looks familiar. Someone will be
able to ID it.

The tubular wheels are
very nice. Campy hubs, it looks like. The super champion rims are very
light, nice race rims. I never saw them in black before, but they were
one of the first makers to go for colored rims.

You got yourself a great deal.

The crown on my Sun is similar, but the Sun's lugwork is more ornate.

One of these days I'll get around to throwing some pics up.
