Thanks for letting me know! I haven’t had many rides on it yet but I am also impressed with this LX set. The derailleurs didn’t care a whit that I went from a 7 to an 8-speed cassette or that I’m using new MicroShift brifters. Everything was easy to set up and works well. I’ve spent considerable time on other resto-mods getting the front derailleur dialed in, but not this one. I just made sure it was in line with the rings, and that it cleared the bulge on the big ring, and it did the rest. And the brakes continue to impress me. I saved the original cassette, flat bar, stem, shifters, and brake levers in case I ever want to get the band back together.
