In terms of icons of the peloton - in the 90s, the Motorola team stands out.
Established champions in Andy Hampsten and Phil Anderson, a current world champion on the rise in Lance Armstrong. A scheme that heralded its country of origin, and riding a marque that was synonymous with steel performance.
This bike rolled out of the Milk Bar in 2012. A new old stock frame from 95/96 in 'sample size' 56cm. The client was a Campagnolo tragic and no amount of pressure could persuade them to go for the team spec' Shimano Dura Ace.
It was ridden a handful of times, has been transported around the world due to work and lifestyle changes, and the owner reached out to say they would like to move it on.
In that time, the bar tape has changed, levers changed over to alloy versions but remains almost the same and presents in exceptional condition.
When I see people asking ransom money for tired and flogged 'retro' road bikes - this is as an absolute bargain. You can find the listing HERE.
The nostalgia for me is this was a time in my life where beauties like these were monthly projects. Good to see that over a decade on they've held their value.
