I'm totally loving all these pix. Seeing what interests you guys- the parts and areas that you guys find interesting.
I'm kind of surprised I haven't posted more pix here. I get obsessive about parts- for some reason, I expect other people to be- so when I look for a certain part- and find I'm the only one going on about it on the internet... yeah that's weird. And finding a great majority of my own pix come up on the Google Image searches...
The Cyclone- they work so well, they look so beautiful and they're nearly weightless!!
XC Comp RD- I find the XC Pro and XC Comp stuff to be so perfectly "business." They're elegant and flawless. The graphics on the XC Comp make it look carbon-y.
VSP and the Dia Compe QR cable yoke.
XC Pro brakes with Ritchey Logic pads.
Tri-Color brakes and Command Shifters.
The FC 6206- A 600 level triple crankset- beautiful, classy, understated and business. And then there's the Sachs/Huret FD on there. As much as I'd love to mount a Mountech FD on this bike, the French/Herse cachet of the Sachs/Huret piece keeps it on there.
I'm not huge into Italian stuff, but this was cool. I was shaking with excitement when I got this bike and taking the pictures.
And again... XC Pro... I think this was the first "NOS" part I bought-

Me neither until a few years ago when I saw this at a bike swap:
It wasn't my size or I'd have bought it and Campy-ized it
