      Would like to know about Paletti,
      I own a Reparto Corse from the 80’s with Dura-ace 7400 sis group set
      All I know about it is it came from Columbia around 1984. And is frame # 882

      I just bought a 2012 Masi Alare road bike on Texas Bicycle Exchange for $240. She has an aluminum frame with a carbon fork, is Euro blue and white, has a Shimano Sora 2 X 9 drivetrain, Alex R500 rims with Kenda tires and Shimano clipless pedals among other features. The only thing I'm changing for sure will be the pedals. I just picked up the LOOK Keo 2 Max Carbon pedals that will be installed in place of the Shimano pedals. I might eventually change the tires but keep them on for now. I have already named her Sophia so my Lemond Reno road bike will be getting renamed. My Trek Hilo time trial bike is named Abigail. I'll have to get a stem riser and new cables to facilitate my getting the right fit on this bike while riding in the aero position. It will need a new chain too so I'm looking at $200 plus for that work. I want to add on a pro tune up at some point. I have had her up to 42 mph, once, on a flat road. My Lemond Reno is the components and carbon fork from my old twenty years plus red Lemond Buenos Aires frame installed on the blue Reno frame. I also own a Gary Fisher Mamba mountain bike that I'm rebuilding in a custom far from stock way.
