I have the 105 groupset so I kind of want to use it on a bike finally, the frame has great geometry... But needs to be updated for what I want it to do. It is not really a restoration quality frame. A lot of the smaller brazeons (sp?) are damaged and will be filed away, so it makes more sense to me to update it to a current standard where needed.
