Its purple, very purple... and yellow

looks the works! A yellow Flite would compliment this one for sure.

Are those regular road-bars? If used as a commuter why not stick on some non-period STI brifters?

But still, looks like cream to me 8)

needs a yellow flite, yup.

STI simply doesnt work with MTB front mechs (Campagnolo does though - lots of clicks)

I knew this would have drops on it the day I clapped eyes on it...

:? I didn't know that (I'm a noob to mixing road and MTB, sorry) - but what if you put on a road-derailleur? and most important: how come? Is there a difference in cable-travel?

Shame, I was going to do just that (put STI's on a MTB), looks like it's changing plans and turning the bugger into SS 8)

Road shifters pull different amounts cable for the front mech. you can get them to work but it takes ages. A road triple front mech is handy if using STI

campag has lots of clicks whereas the STi I've used so far has a couple which is bloody annoying.
