Man every time I see that black Paramount (in all of its various incarnations) in various threads here on BF, I just like it more and more. The electronic-shifting Campy version is the best yet....

On to the topic: I have a Campy crank on a Motobecane Le Champion. And then I made it worse by replacing the Campy NR front derailleur with a Suntour vX.... so now the bike has a Campagnolo NR rear DR, Suntour front DR, Campy crank, and Dura-Ace brakes....

I have another Motobecane with a Stronglight 107 drive side crank arm, and a Sachs New Success left arm. France and Germany, side by side... (*why? because I screwed up tapping the LH pedal thread to 9/16, and it came out crooked.... killed another vintage part forever, sorry....)

I have a really nice set of Cyclone 1st gen derailleurs on a very ordinary early gas pipe Univega Gran Rally, and I can't bring myself to take them off the bike because it rides so nicely...

So many things to feel bad about...

"Not the COMFY CHAIR!"......
