finally got around to taking some pics after i worked out a few 7-speed problems. it's a fast bike (for me) that's offered a few 'firsts':

- first bike from a custom builder
- first 7-speed
- first campy bb and crankset
- first dura ace component (brakeset)
- first sealed bearing hub (specialized rear)

the '84 catalog page shows three different groups were available for this challenge model:
- specialized, $995
- dura ace, $1195
- super record, $1395

this one came to me with a combination of all three groups:
- dura ace brakeset
- specialized stem, seatpost, rear hub, and pedals
- campagnolo super record headset
- campagnolo nuovo record bb, front hub, crankset

unfortunately, someone pulled the derailleurs and shifters before i took ownership. but a couple forum members helped out by providing more nuovo record. thanks, jeff and michael!

yeah, it's been a fun and challenging project. thanks for all the help!
