Nice find at the LBS today
A little unexpected treasure at my LBS today, some NOS Shimano 600 EX levers and hoods. The guy gave em' to me for 10 bucks, now do I want them on the Paramount or the Miyata....hmmm...

I'd go with the Miyata but I'm a Miyata "Cult" Member

Ive just spent about an hour holding them up to the Paramount and the Miyata and I'm definitely leaning towards the Paramount now. This also give me a reason to replace the tape now too, but I think I will wait until winter when I have decided on what freewheel I will be getting as well.

If anyone is interested, there's a NOS Campy NR headset, not sure on the year, at my LBS for 50 dollars. I can fascilitate. The reason it's not on one of my bikes is...it's french threaded, which the shop found AFTER trying to mount it to one of my bikes.
I DID pick up dust caps for my campy black pedals...10 dollars!

That's a good deal. If I didn't already have a Stronglight in reserve I'd be tempted. Maybe you should post this in the Craigslist/Ebay finds thread.
