Thanks, although does look fairly nice the frame was given to me and some of the components are off a 1990 Schwinn 594 that I upgraded to Ultegra. At that point I had less than 25 dollars into it - Cinelli cork tape, chain and cables. I wanted to ride in the crappy weather and this was a very economical way to do it. Oh yeah, the wheels are Mavic MA 40s from the Schwinn, so it's a 7sp.

Original RD



Original shifters. The brake levers are from the 594.



Crank off 594 and an Ultegra FD I had lying around
