I haven’t weighed this and I’m not going to:
First time I’ve had a steel road bike since I was a kid. Also the first Campy gear I’ve ever owned - this is Triomphe/Athena/C-Record. Can’t believe how un-ergomc the old levers are. It otherwise rides nicely, but I won’t be keeping it for long.

I think he’ll be selling it at some point, get in early if you want a piece. (Alex, you can pay my finders fee by direct deposit, thx)

^ Cheers HM. I saw 650b in the thread title and my eyes glazed over.

Yeah, that was an idea that didn’t last long. The 385mm chain stays are sheer madness.
And yes, I’ll be selling it at the Sydney Vintage Bike Show on 23 March. Unless I decide to part it out first.

not normally a fan of 7900 aesthetics but the duarte looks great with it.
Just ‘finished’ this on the weekend (got some Campagnolo Shamal love of Jaseyjase):
