Hey all. It's time for me to move on from this beautiful 1979 Pro Tour. $1200 and this complete bike is yours!

This is the last one with direct mount center pulls before they moved to the cheaper brake design. The build is currently setup a bit Country Bike with these alt bars, but I typically ran it in sportif/randonneur style with Albastache bars. I can swap in Crust Bonneville bars or even Nitto Bullhorns with vintage Shimano 105 levers, or you can take it as a rolling chassis.

It has custom super light super stiff Light Bicycle carbon 650b rim brake wheels. They're really incredible. The bike also comes with a Busch & Muller Eyc dynamo light (currently not mounted).

I'm based in Detroit and I am willing to drive a reasonable distance for a meet up, or ship on your dime.

$1200 as it currently sits, or with a handlebar swap. Happy to lower the price if you don't want the rack, stem, handlebars, etc.

(I also have way more pictures and a full build list, I'll share a Dropbox link in the comments below)
