Hey retro bike people, i have 2 nice little projects i have on the go. Lets see if anyone can recognise these 2 bikes. One has Suntour superbe pro and the other has Campagnolo Nouvo Record with some dura ace goodies... both ex SA racer's bikes from about '77 to late 80's.

Here are some pics...

Gonna go with you on this one @javadude. Definitely Vitus although the smaller one looks like an Alan with that headtube. Looks like both were painted with a brush.

half right the one with the thicker tubes is a vitus! the other one is a little more important in terms of carbon bikes!

Rest in Peace, my favourite bike of them all.

 

Destroyed by an inattentive motorist yesterday.

 

1991 DuToit in 653.

Bike was complete except for its new paint job, which was scheduled for January.

 

I had also just finished making leather bar tape, which I had installed.

 

Loved this bike. Going to miss her.

Here she is before the accident, and before I installed the leather.
