Classic 1976 Graftek Racing Bicycle - first Carbon Fiber bike produced in the world. This is truly a museum bike and includes Campagnolo Super Record components. I have many extra parts, including unassembled carbon fiber frame tubes and polished stainless lugs that came from the original factory when they closed many years ago. I also have a set of original frame decals, to make it as new. If you owned one, you know that the decals did not last long. I paid $1,200 for the frame only with the upgraded carbon fork option. This is a really rare bike and rarely comes up for sale on the market, and in 25 years have never seen a tube and lug kit offered for one. To top off the deal, I have the original multi-page color brochure with pictures of John Howard (Olympian & 8-time national champion) on the cover ridng one. The Cool Gear Exxon Team sponsored the bike in those days! Really neat stuff! Serious inquiries only. Again, this is a super deal for a serious collector, because I am offering the frame and fork, with Campagnolo components, and extra stuff just mentioned for only $1200, including Cinelli bar and stem. Bear in mind that I am selling you the complete bike with nice period specific components and extras for the price that I only paid for the frame by itself 25 years ago.
