It does indeed, and I actually considered building it with early DA, but only briefly. I have an almost-complete group of 7200 (missing shifters and brake levers) but something just seems wrong about building a fairly traditional English frame with Japanese parts. Weirdly, though, I had no problem building a bizarre Belgian frame with Shimano stuff. I may have to reexamine my philosophical approach .
