Got this idea from the "Gotta Love Campy..." thread.
I'd like to see some old (first or second generation or pre-STI or whatever) Dura-Ace and 600 pre-Ultegra components and info.
Yesterday morning while walking the dogs I found an old early '70's bike-boom era Sutton road bike in the bushes of an apartment building (ever heard of that brand?) with some old Dura-Ace stuff that is in very good to excellent condition. It has a Crane long cage rr derailler and a Titlist ft. unit. I'm in the process now of cleaning up the parts but I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with them.
Parts include 52-39t crank with alu chainguard (?), hollow cro-mo BB, sidepull calipers, non-aero brake levers (kind of scratched up but presentable, no hoods). No hubs, darn!
Sorry, no pics..gotta get the camera fixed!

I have some vintage 600 stuff from 85 that is pretty ugly compared to earlier 80s. Well actually the brake calipres and levers are nice but the derailleurs are ugly and the braze ons for the shifters were designed specifically for these shifters so I can't use anything else which is really annoying.

Wow, beautiful stuff, jimmy!
Don't forget vintage Dura-Ace components, too. I forgot to mention this in my post but I edited it (well, I thought I typed it) but it is in the title of the thread.
