From: Rutland, MA

Bikes: 1976 (ish) Viscount Aerospace Pro, 1977 Schwinn Super LeTour 12.2, 1992 Schwinn PDG Series 2, 1996 Rivendell Road Standard

I like this idea. I don't have any good pics, but here's how my Riv is built up:

'96 Rivendell Road frame and fork, light blue
Headset: Stronglight roller-bearing (forget the model)
Brake calipers: Dura-Ace 1st-generation, black
Brake levers: Campagnolo C-Record Aero (white hoods which don't really go with the rest of the bike...)
Derailleurs: Suntour Cyclone, black
Shifters: Suntour Superbe pro (six-speed index in friction/power-ratchet mode)
Wheels: Bullseye hubs / Mavic rims (Module-E front, MA-2 rear)
Bars: Nitto 104
Stem: Nitto Dynamic
Crank: Nervar Star
Pedals: Avocet plastic "aero" platforms, black (I think they're model III)
Seatpost: Suntour Superbe
Saddle: Brooks B-17

I'm in the process of doing some re-configuring, though I'm the king of Not Getting Things Done lately. I have some Dia-Compe Aero levers with gum hood that will look good on there, I think, and probably fenders. Might also try an old 49D crank I have but the left arm is shot. Want to put fenders on it too - silver aluminum, of course. I guess the theme is blue and silver with black accents.
