The rest either came with the roadie or was in my spares box, except for the Seatpost and Stem which are new, and the S-A shifter & cable/pulleys, which were NOS on ebay. Oh and of course the rims were built up at the LBS. A nice thing to do if you have an old frame thats just too good to throw out.
pure elegance. Very nice buildup!
