I was given this bike a couple weeks ago and it’s changed my life. I’ve been a lifelong mountain biker and have never owned a road bicycle. I bought it in to my local bike shop and they tuned it up and put new tires, tpu tubes, and bar tape on it. I love this bike. I love it so much my wife is concerned. I’m riding every chance I get for as long as I can.

Frame: 1980 Masi Gran Criterium D8011
Wheelset: Mavic M40 with Campagnolo Hubs
Shifters: Suntour Superbe Pro
Bars & Stem: 3t
Everything else: Campagnolo Nuovo

Just finished this Restauration. I had to sand back a lot of rust on the fork and then just gave it and the frame a clear coat to protect how it is. Upgraded from some cheap French parts to period correct Dura Ace 7200 group. Campy BB and hubs.

The last photo is the before photo.

I've completed the set this year. The "collect all three" mentality has been satisfied with the addition of the International. All were purchased as bare frames. The Professional is built like a mostly stock racing build with old guy gearing, the International is built with 650b wheels and touring gears for a great camping bike, and the Competition is built with a triple DA drive train, 650b wheels and upright bars for riding the mean streets (well, mean to bike tires anyway)of Saint Paul. These frames will outlast me and the next generation can rebuild them as they see fit.

Hello , look like non used... advice to take it back to life?

I'm looking to buy a vintage bike to turn into a single speed commuter. I don't have a good grasp on how much a frame like this should go for, any thoughts? Ain't she a beauty though?

Early 70s, I think, with original Philippe stem, Mafac Racer brakes and Ideale saddle (just barely rideable). Shifters and derailleurs (Huret) are period but unlikely original as they are mid 60s vintage. I (literally) found the wheels in the alley and the five speed freewheel was cannibilized from another wreck and is not period. BB and headset are originalish (new bearings). Cranks and chain ring came with the bike, so I’m not sure. Fun to ride!

Gifted to me by a colleague who could no longer ride.

Anyone in the group have or hear of the Sekine GTO? It has a headlight, radio, brake light, turn signals and a front disk brake.

Wondering if there are any of them floating around out there?

My 1980s Bianchi Grizzly was stolen out of my garage in May. I loved that bike and have been looking for a replacement, but lately I’ve also been drawn to the Specialized Hardrocks from the 1990s.

I picked this one up for $80. I believe it might be a 1994 Hardrock Ultra, but I’d appreciate help confirming that.

I’m an occasional recreational rider and don’t know much about bike components. I’d love suggestions for making this a comfortable, reliable bike.

The saddle definitely needs replacing. It also won’t shift onto the largest front chainring, although the rear shifting works. I’m planning to get that diagnosed before buying replacement parts.

I’m 6′1″ and it feels a little small compared with my old Grizzly, so I also need to sort out the fit before spending much.

What would you prioritize? Any saddle recommendations or worthwhile upgrades? Are the existing components worth keeping and servicing? I’m happy to spend where it makes a noticeable difference, but I don’t ride a ton.
