Here's the majority of the Dura Ace stuff on hand. Ranges from rider quality to near mint but not too worried about the looks.
What's there to choose from:
FC-7400 172.5mm 53/39 at 21 ozs
FC-7402 170mm 53/39 at 22 ozs
FC-7402 170mm 53/42 at 22 ozs
FD-7400 at 2 ozs
FD-7403 at 3 ozs
RD-7400 at 7 ozs
RD-7401 at 7 ozs
RD-7402 at 7 ozs
BR-7400 at 11 ozs
BR-7402 at 12 ozs
BR-7403 at 14 ozs
BB-7400 at 9 ozs
BB UN55 at 11 ozs
Shimano 8s chain 12 ozs
Sram 8s chain 11 ozs
ST-7400 at 18 ozs
I'll pair whatever combination I pick with a new SRAM PG850 12-26 cassette.
Now for the part I'm never 100% sure of with 8 speed Dura Ace, all is compatible above, correct? If I pick the lightest of each part there's a savings of 8 ozs total. That really matters when you weigh as much as I do, LOL!
FYI if you decide you want to polish the scratches out of the crank arms I recently found a seller on Ebay that sells Dura Ace replacement stickers for cranks.
