1986 La Vie Claire 753

[rusty bodie]

It's only taken me 32 VERY odd years, but it's built at last...the Bucket List has begun!! :facepalm:

Bob Jackson's did a superb job of building and painting the frame with original 753R tubes and Cinelli cast parts. Cyclomondo did the transfers.

What a beauty. Looks amazing.
This was the one bike I always wanted. I've only ever seen one in the flesh.
Enjoy!!

Re:

Wow. That's a stunner.

What did Bob Jackson's do to it for you, apart from the paint?

Nice wood panelling by the way.

You realize people will now 'point and stare'...at the bike!

Some bikes just 'look right'...guess what, oh, only problem...can you shrink it 2 inches, then it'll fit me.

Exceptional. And properly period correct from a great period in the pro peloton. One assumes you have taken as much time and effort to procure just the right enormous shield sunglasses to wear when riding this beauty.

Re:

Yup, I have the Oakley Factory Pilots too - all I need are the Greg and Bernard wigs and the legs, of course!! :|

Jackson's built the frame from scratch - I supplied all the frame parts and built the beastie myself.

It's too nice to ride!!

:facepalm:

Amazing job!
I know it's been a long time coming. When was it you got the tubeset?
