This 1980 bike is all about aero. From the shaped frame tubes, to the triangular shaped brakes and aero levers and handlebars, it was a very early attempt at aerodynamics. Interestingly, the features on this bike didn't last that long- although the 'time trial' versions of bikes were always about 'cheating the wind', the road versions really didn't continue on this development until many years later.

This bike has a full Dura Ace 1980 groupset, in stunning condition (and including the hubs).
