Parts-bin special:
Straight handlebars (titanium- a $4 find at the co-op).
First-generation XTR brake/shifters (8-speed, standard brake pull)
Ultegra hubs, 700C Sun CR-18 rims
Shimano 600 cranks with 39/48 chainrings.
Polished stainless fenders.
Clearly I'm not after anything "normal". But then, when I was finished with my original Superior back around 1983, it had Shimano Deore Dyna-Drive cranks, an original King headset, and cantilever brakes. I wish I still had it.
