So Awesome. I ran 7 speed DT shifters that this same Iron Man thought I should have on my '86 Classic. Shifted a 7 Speed FW on Dura Ace Hubs and Gl330s wrapped with 22mm Sprinters.

I had to sell my ‘86 that fit like it was made for me because my Richard Sachs got jealous and I had to choose. I have 7700 on my wife's 54cm Miami Vice but that Groupo really belongs on that ‘86.

One day maybe I'll have a Comp TA. It seems to be very similar to a 85 IM but with Tange 2 and earlier 600 bits. What are the bars and stem?. The bars look deep like what I had on my Turbo.
