[CR]RE: Tradex catalogue and Saronni.

Hi All. since Saronni was mentioned, I would like to know more about my Sa ronni frameset. I have pics at http://501main.com/page.cfm?PageID=39 9 I bought it new in the early 80's, I don't remember when exactly,I was bu sy juggling everything to keep a small bike shop afloat in a smalltown on t he great plains. and I had other bikes to ride. I boughtit new from Ochsner International. I plan on riding it more in the future, and want to be abl e to answer questions about it. Maybe some of the info below would help, if anyone was willing to share. Anybody who is "a Saronni enthusiast" that w ould be willing to share, would be great. Any information or comments would be welcome. I have it built up with later Campy Nuovo Record and getting wheels from a CR lister later this week, or next.
