1000th post and a Gazelle

So, I had hoped this bike would be complete before my 1000th post so I could do a bit of an unveiling. Alas, I broke a shift paddle and haven't rebuilt the shifter yet/wrapped the left side of the bars. My camera is also on the fritz so the pictures aren't what they should be, but here goes...

The build, thanks to a couple forum members and countless hours scouring ebay:
Gazelle Champion Mondial (531) Frame with Campagnolo drop outs, butterfly brake bridge and chain stay stiffener, Roto Bottom Bracket shell and Zeus 2000 fork crown.
Omas Headset (it had an Omas bottom bracket but I had to destroy the cups getting it out and it wasn't going to work with my drive train plans).
Shimano Ultegra FD, RD, and 53/39 Crank
Shimano 600 Pedals (dura ace clips and velo orange leather wrap and straps)
Shimano Dura Ace 2nd gen brakes, Bottom Bracket and Chain
Ritchey WCS seatpost
3TTT Titanium 130mm stem
3TTT Forgie Classic bend handlebars
Campagnolo Record 10 Shifters and cables
Vuelta Bassano Reynolds 531rail saddle with cork pattern on the leather
Hudz Barcelona gold replacement hoods (if someone needs a hideous set of green hudz, I have some that came with my shifters)
Planet X Model B wheelset wearing Michelin Pro 3 Race tires
Tubular wheelset built up with Dura Ace hubs, Campy Semi-aero gray anodized rims and Gommitalia Espresso tires.
SRAM 12-26 Cassette
