actually.. they had cleats to go with 'em.

And really hard to find at a decent price...

Do you have the original cleats that come with the 7400 pedals?

Hi! just finished my current project, a Cyfac time trial bike from 1999 rebadged as a Vitus and ridden by the lotto mobistar team in 1999. This frame was actually owned by Jacky Durand (winner of Paris tours, tour de Flandre and several tour de france stages).

I built it with a complete dura ace 7700 group, thomson elite seatpost, 3ttt stem (the one in columbus thron), sachs ergo handlebars and look quartz pedals.

Useless to say, it's a superfast bike considering its age.

I could'nt find pictures of Jacky Durand actually riding this bike but I found one of Jo Planckaert on the 1999 Paris-Nice race

Cheers

good find...

it's mine ;)

Here you can see how the dura ace cable stop look like with athena parts

You should also consider these

the cable tension for the rear derailleur is way easyer to adjust

The white rolls saddle looks nice.

yeah sorry! I thought guidoline was also used in english, obviously not...

I would have gone for blue cables with white guidoline and black turbo saddle.

That's a lovely frame!
IMO you should have a nice DA 7400 groupset with downtube shifters because these are unbreakables. If you want an example, here is my peugeot from the same era and the same 653 tubing with 7400 groupset

Thanks for the comments!

the frame is an aluminium vitus futural 787 (so the year is 1987 and yeah it's french). I used pretty much all the spare parts I had on this one so I have a mosaic groupset but it does a really great job!
In details:
handlebars: mavic comte de coucy with brooks guidoline
stem: mavic 360
crankset: mavic 631
pedals: mavic 640
mavic open pro wheels
derailleurs shimano 105
headset shimano 105
brifters shimano rx100
campagnolo record seatpost
velo orange model 6 saddle
front brake is a miche and rear is a shimano ultegra

My new machine for commuting

Finally found the perfect saddle for my bike and my bottom!

Glued frames like this one are super fragile, it will certainly break if you convert it.

Thanks for the advice. Alternatively someone told me to use a hammer but I'm not very confident with this...
Or this tool:

My current project is almost finished! I ordered a thomson elite inline seatpost and a pair of look quartz to finish the build. And I still need to figure out a way to remove the current crankset (the thread for the crankset removal tool is fucked) to complete the dura ace 7700 full group...

Et Gaston je suis sans voix devant ton Pinsello. Incroyable. Il lui manque juste des pédales 640 piste ;)

Did some massive changes on my veneto road bike, replaced the mavic/sachs groupset with some more common shimano groupset for everyday commuting:

And I'm still working on jacky durand's vitus, hope I can post some pictures soon...

Cheers

Hi, current project on former jacky durand's bike is ongoing. I think I'm going to build it with sachs new success and mavic parts.
One problem is I cannot take the crankset out as the extractor thread is fucked up :/

And I'm looking for a front wheel (mavic cosmic carbon first gen would be nice!)

Poor mans Shamals^

That's funny because this is what I thought when I bought them because they were so cheap but in fact they are super close to the original shamal.
anyway, it's always nice to have your bike in the porn thread :-)

Yep, exactly, that's Jacky Durand

Hi
here is my new current project, a vitus time trial bike. The frame belonged to a former professionnal cyclist who used to ride with the Lotto Mobistar team, hence the color of the frame.



Don't really know how I'm gonna build it but I already bought this one from a member:

Bisou

Amazing LOOK! Any more picture of that stem/bar combo?
