If you have any more of that green housing, the rear derailleur housing could be replaced. It would really "pop".
The problem with the green housing is that it is lined brake housing, so I figured it would not work with the Dura Ace STI. I did order a couple of lime green bottle cages, might keep the yellow one where it sits (yellow painted area) and the green on the green painted portion. The wheels were Ritchey C/L pickups, I got the bike without wheels (seller wanted a fair amounf for the wheels, which did not match, were in mediocre shape, and neither was original).

Yes, that's a red (deep red) Chris King headset. Picked that up years ago, came with a Look Bernard Hinault frameset. Stuff tends to work its way around my workshop. Figured it matched the red contrast on the fork crown, and the red head tube decal. That is one smooth headset. The original tricolor 600 HS was tired.

I'm thinking of pulling those Mavic decals off the fork. I understand they are not original, and nothing on the bike is Mavic.
