Thanks fellow "Greg".....Yes, the Motobecane comes from a store/online retailer in your neck of the woods. Hmmm, maybe an excuse for an Austin to Dallas, IH-35 road trip......

I have the paperwork from a fit kit that I did in 1996, but I'm not sure how it relates to compact frames that were not around back then.

So far I have amassed:

Campy Centaur 10 speed group
700x28 Armadillo tires (almost got gatorskins instead)
Neuvation wheels
Shimano A530 pedals (that are oddly being fitted to a Campy crank).

Thinking of FSA bars and stem, narrow brooks saddle, and a nitto seatpot. Lots of spring sales abound - now is a nice time to buy bike stuff.
