Here it is. Forgive my lousy photography/camera.

Hard to imagine this bike has at least 50K miles on it. The color is slightly more red than the photos but quite electric. Joe Bell suggested the color and I'd like appreciate his comments on the result. The component selection is not perfectly contemporary with the frame, but certainly could represent some upgrades during the '80s. I'd be interested in when the Wienmann Delta brakes were introduced and when the Roval wheels became available. Also I have heard that the Cinelli saddle with the alloy "wishbone" frame can break, and when was it introduced. Drat, can't even take a spin around the block in the current rain and ice. The Wienmann brakes are a bit tough to set up in my opinion with very exact cable trimming required.
