It’s beautiful. I have an ‘86 Triathlon with the same decal scheme. Vitus frame and fork, Sachs-Huret gears, Maillard hubs, Stronglight crank. Even with clinchers it’s very light for that era.

I Really like the Peugeot Triathlon Vitus, is it the 980 Vitus Tubing? They Also Done a Peugeot Mont Cenis in Vitus Tubing but in Red. i think our version of it in Europe/UK was the Peugeot Aneto or izoard 531c Reynolds.

Brate 👍 Borg Borg. My friend is Croation, he lives in Primostine, and His family are from the Wine Hills in Vilovants. Massive Hadjuk Fans. I played in the torcida cup in split, was great fun. Cervape and Ivar sauce at half time 😁 Yes I could maybe get it to 7.5kg, With carbon handle bars, Carbon seat post, carbon saddle, carbon wheels. I have another Peugeot 531c Reynolds which I might build to see if I can do it. What bike and do you have Brate 👍

@@kris8165 Beautiful Country Kris, I Would Move To Croatia and Retire if I was allowed. The Adriatic Sea is Clean, The People are friendly, the Food Is Brilliant. My friend is going back home to Croatia/ Primostine next week for two weeks. I'm the same Chris, I will ride anything vintage. I don't like modern bikes, my friend has a single speed track bike & the other has modern carbon Gravel & Road Bike so abit of a mixture.

why is that the high ranking 753 tubes comes with a seat post diameter of 26.2 rather than a standard 27.0 or 27.2 mm ...from Dalmatia with love
@TESTA-CC5 ай бұрын
Reynolds 753r Tubes were 26.4mm To Save Weight nuArk, I think that's the only Reason 👍
@keepitreal15475 ай бұрын
753 tubing came in different seat tube diameters. 26.2 was not standard for the tubing.

Those 600 headset & hubs were not sealed bearing, they were open bearing with outer seals. Classed as sealed bearing at the time by Shimano, but compared to todays sealed bearings...they weren't.

Yes Your Correct it was Shimano Branding on the 600 Groupsets, it Would Be Nice to Have Some Offical Sealed Modern Enduro Race Bearings.

@@TESTA-CC 'You're' Also the earliest 753 frames by Peugeot had a French threaded h/s & b/b, just as the earliest Peugeot Vitus Duralinox frames did. Many people fitted a Mavic sealed unit with unique angled lock rings to counter the French thread although it meant the B/B shell had to be angled accordingly. I did many in our workshop.

@@keepitreal1547 yes Ive noticed on the left side BB it looks angled Slightly, ive had two Peugeot Perthus Pro's and both were the same. One a 56cm frame and this one 54cm Frame. I would like to get the Peugeot Chorus 753r but there quite hard to find in the UK.

I have an 87/88 Bianchi Columbus CROMOR Doppio Spessore frame with full Campy Chorus groupset of that time, Ambrosio 19 wheel and the same saddle. I love the bike but have to sell it. Do you know anything about the market for such bikes these days and where I should go about it?

Beautiful Bikes, Bianchi Bikes. I Remember The Off Blue Frames as a Child. Ambrosio Wheels And Campagnolo Groupset Everything Was Italian Specs and Italian Made Components Italian Columbus Tubing. Id like to get a Columbus SLX or TSX Frame to build a full Italian Vintage Road Bike, as I don't own a vintage bike with Campagnolo Groupsets, it's all Shimano. I have some parts ready, I'm just missing Campagnolo G.S Crank and Italian frame 😁 Id Say Keep it, Don't Sell it 🙏
