Maiden voyage after getting a new 105 groupset installed. Crashed badly a while ago and decided to take the bike in a new direction as I loved how it rode. I love the feeling of steel and with a modern groupset it rides amazing. Came in at 9.98kg with large frame as seen in the pic. Wasn't worried about the weight but a little happy it's under 10kg as I was guessing it might. Just scraped it under.

Suntour frame, original seat post, stem and handlebars.
Shimano 105 11-32 groupset.
Campagnolo Khamsin Asymmetric G3 wheels

I do need to go with a 11-28 cassette as there's no adjustment left on the rear derailleur and while the chain can shift up into the largest cog on the cassette is grinds. The store said it would be best to fit a 11-28 which I'll do at some point in the near future. Until then I'll enjoy the other 10 cogs.

My "new" Abeni Special. Custom made for the original owner in 1978, he gave it to me because his back no longer had the flexibility for a road bike. Stripped down, full respray and built up with parts i already had. Total cost- $15.

The saddlebag is DEFINITELY not a permanent fixture, but 27" tubes are bulky. I didn't need them of course but it would be tempting fate to go without. :lol:

This photo, sorry about the quality shows the neat "f" cutout in the bttom bracket lug.
The bikes not perfect - masking lugs isn't easy but it deserved to be repaired and ridden. I've learnt a lot for my next restoration and this forum and the internet are invaluable for ideas and solutions
Thanks again for the positive comments,
Cheers,
Peter
Hi, there was a post back in 2009 for a Farleigh you restored. Do you have any detailed photos of the lugs? Seat lug and stays and rear brake bracket would be great.

I have a frame that looks to share the same appearance on the lugs around the seat area, so your photos would help confirm the maker.

Cheers

Just picked up this (very clean) old girl today. Chrome molly frame with Exage 300 7s group, Dia compe brakes and Araya wheels. I've got some research to do. Nice to ride for a cheap old bike :)

Nice, looks like it has done little work. I just bought my daughter a similar spe'cd Giant cadex 2 of gumtree. I have never thrown my leg over a early 90s shimano spec bike, but i was really impressed with the 105 down tube sis and brakes. If you can fine these bikes in good condition (little use) they are a really good ride. Throw a wheel upgrade on them and they will easily keep pace with the modern gear :wink:

This thread is for showing off bikes, not getting a valuation.
If you had read the thread Welcome. Please Read First which I drew you attention to three weeks ago, you would have read:
Valuations: Members are not in a position to put a value on bikes or components. The market (ie ebay or Gumtree or the BNA Marketplace) is the best for that. It really depends on matching the buyers wants, after taking into account location and the condition. If you look like you are trying to get background to prepare an advert, don’t be surprised if there are few responses.
If you want a valuation, you are encouraged to try over at Retro Bicycle Valuations Australia.

And try to make your sentences readable.

You paid the right price for it, just because a bike is rare doesn't mean it's valuable. RX100 running gear works well, but it's only mid level, not high end or desirable. Keep an eye on ebay for a set of wheels and then enjoy it.

This is my 'new' old Berretto. I don't actually know what year it was made, although I plan to restore it. I'm new to cycling, so I have a bit of research to do. Research so far shows they were manufactured in the early eighties. What upgrades should I do? I'm thinking of upgrading gearing and putting some new pedals with cleats on it.
cheers

there's a berretto group on facebook. brett richardson might be able to give you a build date.
don't upgrade unless somethings broken. you'll just end up with a shedful of bikes.

Welcome, and a nice first road bike. Agree with munga, just get it up and running as it stands and start tapping out some Km's. Plenty of info on the forum regards training etc. You will passed by most riders as you start out, but it will not be because of the bike :wink: after 6-8 months in the saddle you will start finding your cycling legs and have more of an idea on upgrades etc. Worth buying some clipless pedals and shoes and if you must upgrade something then good second hand wheels sets/tyres can be bought for $150-$200. If the bug bites and your really keen on cycling and need to upgrade running gear etc its probably time to upgrade the bike.

I'm pretty sure one of those Roadlinks would have you sorted there. I saw one on instagram the other day, with a vintage Campy derailler and a 42 tooth on the back ! http://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/roadlink

Cadex alr1

Just bought this Cadex ALR1 off a lady for a bargain. Full 105 8sp with Campy rims. Think I might put all the running gear on my old Vitus? I'm not sure about using the brifters though, it's sacrilege isn't it? lol :mrgreen: Image
