1985 Zeus Victoria just built up with Utlegra - the group is a triple but I don't have a thin wall 15mm to get the Zeus crank arms off yet so I am running a Dura-Ace FD until I can get the triple crank on with the triple Ultegra FD...
Don't mind the green - I had a Chinese knock-off Tioga twin tail and couldn't resist having some fun and trying it out...

Love this thread but why isn't it a sticky?

Some upgrades on my Coppi.
Got NOS hoods for shifters, made original design stickers, polished cranks and cable stops. Finally got hold of 600 27.0 seatpost and swapped wheels for same 600 tricolor hubs with maching open pro silver rims. Also got myself another flite, so track bike and road bike are no longer sharing seats.

Yes, polished crankset as there was some toe rub and scuffs on DS crank and major toe, heel rub and a lot of scratches on NDS one. Lost logos on DS crank, already had gone on NDS.
Shouldn't done that?

Great job. I've done the same on cranks with rub and it's always worth the effort

Really nice. You don't see a lot of that done to Fuji's in my area, very few Fuji's around.
Always been a smooth bike, IMO.
Hah, a Roubaix! You should sue Specialized.

For the price of Sora's, I'd go Microshift, Sunrace, or Forte (Performance).
Better shifters, more hand positions on the bars, and, in my experience, wicked easy to mount and use.
