From the title of the thread I thought the OA bath destroyed the paint or something. I was wincing the whole way down, thinking the next picture was going to be a horrendous "after" shot. When you showed your Voyageur in the box I thought the Romic had been turned black! Glad to see it all came out well, it's a spiffy looking frame.
P.S. Dura Ace 7700 is 9 speed, 7800 was the first 10 speed Dura Ace group.
