Thanks for the catalogues Hotfoot, they'll keep me in reading material for a few nights.Mr.Hotfoot wrote:i have already done the 1983-84 catalogue
And I've now managed to accurately date my Superlite in an 85-86. It's a light blue/dark blue colour, must have been about the last year they had 27" 1/14 rims.

Great work....I'll bet it just sings, the 87/88 Olympic 12 & the 88/89 Eurosport Tria are lots of fun but that tight 531 Geometry is just so snappy to ride...LOVE IT!
Where did the Full Superbe Pro Group set come from? I've got the original Sprint 9000 on my 87/88 and its every bit as good as Shimano 600 note that it changes earlier than Shimano. Superbe Pro appears to be DURACE Equivalent whats the shift quality like?
Mavic Open 4 CD's? NOS?...I'm running the UKAI's
I'm running Conti GP4000 700 x 25C Reflective Tyres for the extra visibility & comfort at present, what did you decide on?
Ahhhh now about that seat......maybe put the AriAKE Aero Jaguar II 7378 Japan "87" "6" + "Medalist" across the rear of the saddle in black lettering seat back on"

even with the crummy shimano cluster (soon to be remedied), it shifts very nicely thanks - friction only, so hard not to.
not nos rims, but very lightly used. maybe 100km on them.
i bought a LOOK wheelbag from an op shop for $10, and when i got it to the car i opened it and found a brand new pair of GP3000's in it.
amber walls, kevlar beads, grey tread.
