Those old bikes had a horrific geometry.

The 2 finger rule used to be applied those days and then the 4 finger rule.

Bikes have come a long way.

Must have been horrible to ride, check the tiny piece of seat post that is visible.

Might very well be just a random photo, Considering now i am seeing no Race Numbers. However i am also seeing no cables.

Cables running under the bar tape.

I think that this photo was taken in 1984, as this was the only year TUC LU was a GIS Gelati sponsor.

 

This is their full team that year: http://www.cyclingar...che.php?id=6447

Downtube shifters.

Simplex Retrofriction shifters, pre-shimano index shifters.

If you had these you were the man.
