Thanks for the opinions folks. To Germany_Chris I get your point. I know a lot of the C&V'ers prefer Campy on their bikes so seeing a bunch of NOS/NIB Shimano 600EX and Dura-Ace means nothing to them. Others want a bike full of Suntour parts.

A good problem for me is that I have 7 bikes and room for only 5. The last 2 years I have been searching for a nice mixte frame. Last night I disassembled one of my bikes and boxed it up. I am drifting to preserve the black Basso frame and the components. That way I'll have a spare that is nicer than the one I am riding and enough retro parts to build it out. I'll take the hubset and get a nice wheelset built for that happy time in the future when I do the build.

Meanwhile, I'll continue my search for a nice Japanese mixte frame.
