Love those bikes. Where are they now?

There's a 753 silver Hinault frame on the UK Ebay site right now but with a cracked chain stay. I'm sure this could be repaired. Here's the link:

The original 753 had a nasty habit of doing that (failing). I think it was corrected with the later 753r...which was introduced in approx. 1987.
