Free parts from a generous bike club member who's moving out of state: A 27" wheelset of Shimano 600 hubs laced to bronze anodized Matrix aero rims (never knew anyone made 27" aero rims) with a 7 speed cassette (freehub, not screw-on; 12 or 13 - 28). A nice Nitto stem and 3TTT bars with Shimano 600 aero levers attached. And a copy of the Jobst The Bicycle Wheel, 2nd Ed. He had built the wheels himself and on cursory inspection will just need a little truing & re-tensioning. He'd sent an email out via the club's Listserv offering the wheels. After we talked a bit he said "let's see what else I have" and that's how I got the other goodies. The bars, wheels & levers will likely go on my Super Le Tour; I'd been thinking of buying aero levers for it. The stem will be added to the parts bin as I already have a new Nitto Technomic Deluxe on the bike.
Did I mention they were all free?
Also said he'd call me if he found anything else.
