And since we're on page 187, let's post your '87 if you got em. Here's mine. I need to update my pic as it now has gripshift and a 7 speed dura ace freewheel, However all other components are the original shimano 105.
Let's see what I can remember off the top of my head--
RD: Sram Rival
FD: 2nd-gen. Suntour Cyclone
Wheels: mavic aksium
Cranks: FSA Gossamer
BB: FSA megaexo
Tires: Conti ultra sport, my go-to budget tire
Stem: nitto
Bars: nitto b117 I think
Brake levers: Shimano SLR (another go-to bc plentiful and good)
Brakes: tektro dual pivot
Saddle: Brooks professional
Seatpost: can't remember. Probably a kalloy 27.0 replacement
Pedals: wellgo Wam-r4 spd-r clones, good pedals cheap from Revolve KC, my favorite used bike store.
I build my bikes on a small budget using mostly take-offs from CL finds. The modern drivetrain and wheels here are from a bikes direct cx I bought in 2008, same year I joined BF and began to learn about c&v.
My other '87 is stock except for contact points.
