Re:
Hi retro folk
Managed to get some more done to this build this weekend.
Got a pair of Dura Ace 7700 sti levers quite cheap. The caps are a bit tatty, as were the inner levers before I polished them. Before and after shots,
New caps are safely tucked away, and will be the very last things to go on.
Also, I robbed the 180s from my Jackson ( replaced with Ultegra ) and washed them.
The photo reminds me that I need to polish them up a bit, not a full Muz polish back to the metal as it would take the Dura Ace logo off, just to get rid of the marks.
The rings were very kindly donated to me from a fellow retrohead.
Thanks very much Dan
New chainring bolts are here too
The calipers were robbed off my Trek (also replaced with Ultegra )
Apologies for out of focus picture
Robbed ( there's a pattern emerging here ! ) from my Bianchi, are the wheels. ( Another pair on the way for the Bianchi, 6400 hubs on Campag Omega rims, making a full groupset minus the seatpost).
Can't run to Dura Ace hubs, so these are Ultegra 6500 laced to Mavic Open Pro rims. Regreased, and with a new Sram 12-23 cassette.
Also pictured is the rear mech with new Tacx jockey wheels, and a q/r skewer that needs cutting down :roll: :facepalm: Oops!
So here it is now as it stands.
Now waiting for bottom bracket, tyres, cables and bar tape to arrive, from various parts of the globe :roll:
No idea what bottle cages to get, Elite Ciussi, one orange and one blue ?
Also undecided on which pedals. Spd Sl maybe
Can't wait to ride it !
