I have one too! But it's in a bit better shape than the other 87 Tempos in here...
Can't wait to see how your repaint comes out! I'm always impressed with the skills and eye for design on display in these forums.

Nice - how was the conversion from DT shifters? I don't want brifters, but I'd like more comfortable brake hoods than the little ones it came with.
Izumi Pearl has a color in their current women's line-up that matches the teal perfectly, so I'm working on getting as much matching stuff while it's available because I am a vain, silly creature.

These hoods are wider and more comfy- Tektro R200L's:

Those Tektros rccadr posted up are nice. I have the short reach version on another bike with stem shifters. Much nicer when riding on the hoods compared to older aero levers.

now I see why the RC Doctor doesn't like my bike 
he's afraid I'll steal his groupset! Those hoods do look wide and comfy.. so who else has a Tempo?

They're all schexy, but I especially like the cream/almond one with the brooks and brown bar tape. Also the kicky blue and yellow.

Requisite posting of my dad's bike which got me into this whole lunacy:
Also I never, ever see those red, green, and white Tempos. Post 'em if you got 'em!

Out of curiosity, what is it about the Tempo, specifically, that makes them desireable for you builds? I'm still a bike newbie, and I'd love to learn more about my bike and others like it.

I forgot to ask before, where's this slightly heavy frameset business coming from? My 23 inch version was 5lbs on the scale, and the fork was 760 grams.
