Given that I now own a Campy RD and FD that can handle a vast gear range, I'm inclined to work with that. The Sugino AT is a fine and flexible crank, but it does look all kinds of wrong on this bike. I do have this triple Stronglight, which is interesting since I'd hesitate to invest in the more appropriate Campagnolo version. Thoughts most appreciated.

It's a Stronglight 99, if I'm not mistaken. The aluminum drillium rings have their own charm!

In other news, I went at the frame pretty gently with Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and T-Cut in a few spots. Mother's on the chrome with some 0000 steel wool as needed. Here it is with some carnauba:


I think I'm happy with this. This bike was ridden and parked in the sun, and it shows. I'd hesitate to go at the paint more aggressively.

Modest component progress while watching my teams lose basketball games. 😔

Haven't even glanced at the wheels. The easy solution is to clean and true them, then go with some Paselas. I'm not going to be racing, after all. I can always come back to this to work on my wheel building skills later.

Thanks for the feedback!
