I figured we'd all been there. Like when we were kids - "Collect 6 box tops, and mail then with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please wait 6-8 weeks for delivery!"
In this case, I remember lusting after a Litespeed Ultimate, perhaps all the way back to when this 1995 model was new. Ultimately (haha), I think I'll rebuild it with some generation of Dura Ace. I have 7400/7410 STIs, RD, and brakes, as well as a wheelset that currently needs new rims. FDs are cheap. And the 7410 crankset is, IMO, the prettiest crank ever made.
