Um I think it looks pretty damn good. Some of us are pretty happy to use conversions. I just converted my Reynolds 753 bike that had a full campy groupo. I can't for the life of me understand the enthusiasm for old campy parts. They look fine and dandy...but if I am going to use a derailer I want one that has a lot of teeth capacity. Why use a derailer if you arent going to climb? The fixie is a solid statement of giving up the bling. Just because it is a Cinelli doesnt mean it was the best frame ever made. I happen to think people are getting to crazy over old crappy outdated derailers. Why on earth would you want to use a Huret or Simplex/ or old Campy when for less than over inflated vintage price you can beat the snot out of an Ultegra or 105 part and not worry about its collector esteem.
