My iPotato made everything blue today. Dunno why.
Made for one year in 1987, full of 105/nitto/sugino goodies. And BLADED SPOKES. Super pumped.

Centurion Accordo, parts bin build, first test ride today:
. . . and formal shot:
All good except for the weak rear derailleur spring, probably why it was in the parts bin
. Now looking for another derailleur or replacement spring (Shimano 600 6207). And as I typed this, I "won" another derailleur on ebay (hoping it is good).
This is the fourth time I have built this frame up since I got it in spring 2010. This time it feels right. Maybe.

More pics of the Fuji:
I've decided to go randonneur with this one. It's getting a set of rando bars, barcons, and some fatter tires. I tried to throw a set of 32c Pasela TGs on it today and they didn't fit. 28's might be doable, but I went 25mm to be a little more conservative. I think eventually it'll get the 650B treatment. I've also got a period correct Dura Ace RD on the way. It's gonna look ****** when I'm done.
