The group consists of cranks, FD & RD, brake calipers, carbon levers, carbon DT shifters, carbon clipless pedals, and the aluminum honeycomb Tyranno disc wheel. Although, I'm not sure if the carbon stuff dates from the same time as the rest of the group set.
high quality stuff and infuriatingly rare.
+1. I recall seeing various bits and pieces of the Sugino 75 group at Euro-Asia Imports when I worked there. That was 20 years ago, though... but judging by my last visit (two weeks ago) I bet there's still some there.
