Barn Find 63cm 1980s Bill Davidson Impulse Road Bike DuraAce Cinelli Bar / Stem

Description

Wow! What a time machine! Barn Find 63cm Davidson Impulse Road Bike with paint match Silca frame pump.
The story I got from the original owner was that he bought the bike in Illinois while he was working up that way. He didn’t ride it that much and when he moved to FL, he rode a cruiser bike. This has sat for years and was acquired a few weeks ago.
This bike will need new cables, housing, chain and bar tape. It does have a NOS set of Michelin Super Comp HD tires which are from the period of the bike.
I believe, like other Impulses, this is Tange Prestige. Has internal top tube cable routing for the rear brake.
Some highlights…
Full Dura Ace groupo
Cinelli bar
Cinelli stem
Original Chris King headset
Dura Ace hubs, calipers, levers, derailleurs, seat post, QRs
SR pedals
NOS Michelin Super Comp HD tires
Regal saddle (might not be original to the bike)
Mavic Open 4 CD rims
I would rate the paint an 8 out of 10 as it is in amazing original shape with only a couple of sweat spots / bubbles (see photos).
Bikes like this don’t come around often, so please ask any questions early so I can get you the info you need. Would be perfect for a L'Eroica ride.
Happy Bidding.
