I'm in N-1 mode now, and I'm focused on making what I have into great riding bikes, rather than attempting to get things to original spec.

I like how my '72 Gitane TdF is coming together. Definitely not spec: upgraded Simplex RD, Superbe seatpost/brakes/levers, Campy FD. I will also be putting Lyotard Berthet No. 23 pedals on, to replace the stock Lyotards, and probably change out the Barcons for Simplex Retrofrictions.

Unless I find something that I just can't live without (unlikely), my next bike will probably be a Velo Orange Campeur frameset, built up with a mix of modern and classic kit.

My XO-2 is slated for a bunch of modern upgrades, after it's done being the winter bike.

I just put some lovely Cane Creek SCR-5 aero levers and CC 1246A brake yokes on my 1988 Miyata 615. I love this setup, very nice.

I had purchased a 80-82 Lotus Competition frameset, hoping to build it with full Superbe, but I've just lost interest in doing so. I put it up for sale on CL. I don't really want vintage road racing bikes any more, but more practical commuting/touring/rando bikes.

I guess my priorities/interests are changing somewhat, plus I don't really have the space or finances to commit to more than what I currently have going on.
