Bikes: See my sig...

Some favourites... the 600 Arabesque is a beautiful looking group (although the rear d is a little weak) but the 600 Ultegra just shines in every respect.



All I have left to do is build up new wheels to my 600 hubs here and am making due with a Superbe headset and the Cinelli stem and bars.



Suntour's Mk1 Cyclone stands as one of my favourite all time derailleurs but was not sold as a complete group until later into it's production. Earlier Suntour derailleurs were matched with other Japanese components like Dia Compe and Sakae and complete groups came later on with Cyclone, Superbe, and some of their mountain groups like XC Pro which is some amazing stuff.

The first year XTR STI 8 speed group is astounding... I have collected almost an entire group for a Kona restoration.

Not shown here are the Zeus 2000 centre pull brakes... they are among the nicest centre pulls I have ever used and the group is pure sex to look at.
