Link to the photos at higher res. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24428532@N06/5787567711/ Like I said, the camera is on the fritz so the photos aren't much better there. Farther back in the album, the frame pictures can be found.

The frankengruppo works. I used the alternate routing method from a few articles on 'Shimergo'. I guess I forgot to mention that the Shimano parts are 9 speed while the campy shifters are 10. I ended up going this route because I hate the way Shimano parts look and I just wasn't getting any deals on Dura Ace shifters. I would have been better off to buy a full group in the beginning, but hindsight is always 20/20.

I will say that occasionally I don't feel the shifts. They happen, and it indexes very well. I just don't feel it happen which can bother me a bit. One might say it's an incredibly smooth shift, but I'd like confirmation, be it audible or through feel that I've completed my shift.
