So I rode my bike to the auto parts store to pick up a part for my disabled car and on the way home decided to stop at the groceries store for just a couple things, was gone for maybe 4 mins and my bars and stem were gonzo. Way to kick a guy while he is down. My bus pas had one day on it, my car was awaiting a part and my bike was now down and Pushing it home. However with my saving almost $400 for not replacing the clutch as the lame shop suggested and replacing the clutch slave my self I decided to drive around Sunday and put my bike back together. Now I have some risers like I wanted and a stem that required shims but at least I can ride it until I find a stem I like.
When I get motivated I will take a real pic but just felt like sharing.

im late to join this thread but ive always known about it, I just got a peugeot carbolite circa 1981, its an 8 speed, but for a brief time my dad had converted it to a fixie or a single speed, he also took the breaks off it, i think it had the pedals that lock the rear wheel up when u try to pedal backwards, i know it was like 500 new, and its a carbolite, so im told that its not really that valuable, i guess carbolite is low end or something, someone please update on what i have here

Guerciotti SLX
My baby, 1989 Guerciotti SLX with new school 10s Campagnolo. Steel is real.
Other bikes in my stable right now:
-- 70's Bianchi lightweight, converted to fixed.
-- '80's Guerciotti road bike converted to 'cross bike.
-- '84 LeMond TVT. One of the earliest carbon bikes. All the top riders rode TVT's during the mountain stages. They were noodly as hell but exceptionally lightweight. 16lbs.
"The only thing scarier than descending on a TVT is climbing without one." - Andy HampstenLast edited by Guerc; 10-21-2009, 08:43 PM.
