@greg3rd48 very sharp looking. Looks as if you are mixing Campagnolo Ergo shifters with a Shimano drive train. Am I seeing this correctly? How is the shifting?

My '93 R600 came with very race oriented Shimano 105, which is long gone in favor of a more hill climbable 50-34 compact cranks and 11-34 cassette!

Adding to this thread, I recently rebuilt my '88 ST 400 frameset with a mix of bits and pieces that I've had for a while.

Vintage Shimano fingertip barcons are operating the modern Tourney FD and Deore RD on an 8 speed 11-34 cassette and a 50-39-26 Cannondale crankset. The brake calipers are Paul centerpulls mated to generic Tektro levers. The stem is a Nitto with Schwinn Rando bars. The saddle is an old Ideale. The front wheel is a Shimano Dynohub and the rear is the original 105 from my '93 R600.

It has been a blast to ride this winter. First picture is from my Christmas Day ride in shorts and short sleeves. The second picture is from the ride this past Friday. A bit colder!
