So do I: 1982 Basso "Gap". Columbus SL tubing throughout with Campagnolo Super Record Gruppo. Remember the shifters where you had to actually feel for the sweet spot in the gear? That's what I've got on my bike! I've thought about upgrading to something newer like index shifting, but the shifters, cranks, and chainwheels are custom engraved and painted.

So I'm riding a 22 year old bike. But it still weighs only 19.5 lbs!! Who says modern technology is that much greater!
