i just put together a road bike this past weekend, a mix of what came on the bike from the garage sale and what i had laying around, the frame is raleigh, hubs, brakes, seat post, shifters and derailers are campy, the stem is from another garage sale and is a goccia ITM, crankset is a sugino mighty, bb matches. the saddle that came with it was a beat to hell brooks, i traded that for a velo jet. it looks real nice, it was a nice way to put the campy stuff i had pulled off my conversion to good use, it's fairly light, verry responsive and i'm enjoying it, i'm not getting rid of anything right now but if i ever want to sell i'm sure it won't be hard,
i certainly agree that older steel bikes are alot of fun and the simplicity of them brings my mind back to track bikes. my converstion is still my favorite bike but for the 25 dollars i had spent at various garage sales on the parts i'm very happy with the "new"('77) road bike
