I'd love to find a TX700 in my size with bad paint. Throw on some canti and bottle braze ons... Superbe brakes, Cyclone derailleurs, DiaCompe 981s... yummy!

That 600 group is what came on my 78 Trek 736.

As far as the incestuousness goes- I bought the parts from [MENTION=302603]bikemig[/MENTION] (Stronglight and Superbe) that replaced the 600 stuff, then I sent the 600 stuff to [MENTION=252763]Flog00[/MENTION] right after I did a great deal with [MENTION=207730]3speedslow[/MENTION]!!!
