It doesn't seem likely that someone would change the Campy crank and headset on a Super Corsa to a Stronglight 93 and P3, does it?
Ask Verktyg or Sandranian at gitaneusa.com for an expert opinion.
I've noticed that some people that ride large frames like that complain that metric 531 frames are too flexy. Please let me know what you think. Ilove the way my TdF rides, but it's a small frame, actually too small for me.

The headset is the defining difference between a TdF and a SC - not the DO's. In any case Verktyg will give you the low down.
Nice bike BTW... Oz sure there's chrome on them thar stays!
