Good morning!

So I'm getting ready to sell a bike that I built with a 1987 7-speed full Superbe Pro group (including those fancy hidden-spring calipers). I also have a Miyata Pro that I just restored which has a full Superbe group and Dia-Compe brakes. A good buddy of mine (we won't mention Keith's name here) suggested that before I sell the other bike, I rob the Superbe Pro group and put it on my Miyata that I'm going to keep because it's likely better than the earlier Superbe. I'd also swap the brakes and keep the hidden-spring calipers on the Miyata as well. The Miyata won't be "original" anymore, but do I care? I'd like to keep the best components and my thinking is that it won't really affect the sale price of the other bike all that much. I'd just hate to see a Superbe Pro group go because I played hell trying to find it.

So, should I keep the Miyata as-is and leave the Superbe on it or should I swap all the components and keep the Superbe Pro 7-speed group instead? It's a few hours of work, but I think there are worse dilemmas a man can have in his life

This isn't really a situation where photos are required, but why not?
