Surprise find in a parts bin

Looky what I found in a bin of parts that was given to me. The gentleman that gave me a couple of totes of parts just wanted to get the stuff out of his garage. Dura Ace SL-7700 9 speed. Now to be on the lookout for a frameset to begin a new build.

I love stuff like that. I once built up an entire bike off a pair of 600 brake levers.
