In the "what it's worth" forum, [MENTION=267629]oddjob[/MENTION] (or is it #oddjob ) said in my thread about the PDG frame, that it would be easy and inexpensive to build it back up with original Shimano RX100 components. And indeed I looked on eBay and found it to be true; RX100 brake levers and calipers, shifters and derailleurs, cranksets and hubs all go for quite reasonable rates, so long as they are not new. There is a pair of brake levers for about $15 shipped, brakes for $30 shipped a pair, and so on. I think it wouldn't be too hard with some stalking to put together the whole group for not much, if you keep away from the brifters. You can still get plenty of 7-speed index service parts to go with it. Even the NOS parts aren't too bad.

What in your opinion is the sweet spot in this regard? What's the best value in an 80's or 90's group, if you wanted it all to have the same logo? 1050, Arabesque, something Suntour?
