So, two months ago I bought a too small (Basically new) 1992 LeMond alpe d'huez from the LBS. It had been sitting on consignment for more than two years. (They sold it new in 1992 or thereabouts) So, I like it because it is ALL CAMPY "Mirage" and I like Campy for no other reason than I do, and this bike is new! (I know Campagnolo Mirage is not fabulous, but this bike is basically new, and it is ALL Campy)

So, they know I've been eyeballing it for a very long time and every time I'm in there, they are always saying: "JIM, would you please buy that!"
So, all this time I'm watching eBay for a nice frame-set to build with the components from this LeMond and then just flip the LeMond frame on Ebay after I'm done.
So around Thanksgiving time with another riding season over, I low-ball them basically for the low-end value of price of the 8-speed Campy group on eBay. They call the guy and he accepts. WOO-HOO!

So, it's sitting here while I shop for a frame..

Soooooo.... Since I'm tearing this Jackson down to bare-bones for a total tune-up and cleaning, should this baby get that 8-speed Campy set? Should I?

Here is the LeMond

Jim,

Would that frame fit the friend who gave you the Bob Jackson?




(I just about shortened Bob Jackson to the initials- and that wouldn't have looked good.)
