Absolute beauty!

+1. What a stunner. It appears to be in sublimely good condition too - The Mavic Groupset is gorgeous. I would dearly love a spin on one of these one day. (continue to) Enjoy it in good health, pal.

That's one of the best 979's I have seen, and that includes the ones I saw first time around in the 80's!

Almost identical to mine when I had it back in the late 80s.

My only gripe with this one is the black stem looks out of place and I would have opted for silver even though the Mavic 440 has black in it and I guess you were trying to tie it in with that

love the groupset ..... specially that chainset - you can see where Shimano got their ideas from can't you
Beautiful looking ride

I was thinking about, and finally I put the black version of Record84 stem because my intention is to find a 25mm Mavic black seatpost.

Looks Great!

Very similar spec to my own except that my Mavic headset wasn't suitable for the French thread forks.

Please let me know if you find a few , I would love one also (I would be happy with a rubis/vitus actually)
