I'm still happy with my sks alley cats. I havent put them through the paces you intend, but the matte black finish still looks good. I used rubber washers and nylon spacers when I installed them so they have also been nice and quiet.
Casey those SKS Alleycats look great.
I bought the used set of VOs for $20 with hardware and flaps earlier this evening though.
Furthermore, I've decided that none of the new Campy 10 speed gruppos here will go on this project.
Again, I have a durable, original Athena gruppo that will compliment this nice Croll frame.
I'll build her up in a week or so after the frame arrives from Sloar.
He will be sending full frame shots tomorrow, so I'll post those as available.
Maybe a complete parts list as well.
He has done one whale of a job on the paint and I appreciate all of his hard work on this project.
Heckuva guy, that's for sure.
