I built this in 1984 and it is still pretty much in it's original configuration. Only the brake handles have been changed.
The Nouvo Record parts (hubs, cranks, seatpost and headset) comes from an older (mid 70's) Crescent roadie that I chrashed mightily with, they were the only usable parts left when the dust had settled.
So, armed with a couple of months worth of paychecks I ordered the frameset and the rest of the componentry, started building and ended up with this.
24 years on, I still use it regularly. Many thousands of miles have passed under it's wheels.
