Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You're the one stated frame is from 1984, not the same decade as 1992 Ergo shifters, which are just oddball when mounted on a 1984 frame that's meant for friction or downtube shifter.

NOS=collector's value only.

Something in the air...... Btw, I recently put aero levers on a 72 Schwinn. The braking is much improved. Maybe I'll post it here. Not

Back then, it was actually the Scenero G2 that was supposed to be my next build. I still remember Competitive Cyclist and I waiting for the frameset to arrive from Storck and ended up canceling it because Storck couldn't give us a definite time frame of delivery.
This particular G3 Stealth was a google find a couple months ago when I just happened to look up Storck bikes once again. Its only available from bike-components.de; took almost 3 weeks to get to the NYC.

I've been great, back to road cycling and already have another frameset in mind for the N+1. Lol. Long story short, I went back to practicing kempo karate after enrolling the children 3 years ago. I ended up using up my free time practicing, training, sparring which eventually led me into trying out MMA and having to give up cycling. But after a couple injuries, one being a concussion that happened earlier in this year, my wife and kids said no more. So, here I am back on the road.

Good to have you back. What's the next bike? You probably won't say.

Thank you, great to be back. I've always wanted to build up a Ti frameset so if and when I'm ready, I'm leaning towards a Wittson Suppresio.

Cool.

I ended up getting a BMC TimeMachine. My aero urge is satisfied. There's a Campy disc bike in the future.

Cinelli, Deda, Potenza disc, and Fairwheel Easton R90SL/DT/CX Rays. Outside chance for H11, but more likely the Potenza group. Waiting on Potenza.

They are. Campy announced them a while back but the release hasn't been according to that schedule. CC has the H11 group and Potenza is starting to show up in the UK.
