This is true. But the only problem now is the fact that I have a Vintage frame, made for a 27" wheel size and its already been spaced out to 130mm wheels for the back. I know that you can still run a 700C, long reach brakes, but to find decent long reach brakes is difficult. It did come with the Ultegra rear der (10 spd) and the barrel stops, so I can always run it as a 10 speed, i'd just have to find all the parts for it. It would be fun to make it into a all original Campy bike, but I wouldnt even know what Campy this bike would have run.
