This bike has some pretty incredible components. It shifts like a brand new bike.

Sugino Triple Crank Set 36-44-53
Shimano 600 6 sprocket freewheel 13-18
Shimano 600 rear derailer
Suntour Superbe front derailer
Suntour Superbe Pro breaks and break levers
Suntour Superbe Pro hubs
Matric ISO C-II 700C Aero rims
Cinelli handlebar and stem

Came with Shimano 600 rat trap pedals and Nashbar shoes, but I swapped em for a pair of (gasp, oh dear) sturdy bmx platforms. Might seem like an incredibly dumb move, but I didn't feel like ebaying them. The bikeshop mechanic who adjusted my cables was a good fellow. He seemed stoked about them, so I gave them to him. This is gonna be my getting around town transportation, and I don't wanna be clipped in at stoplights, etc., so I've no need for them.
Any thoughts on wheels? These wheels seem awful nice and they ride incredibly smooth, but I worry I might need something a step down for everyday commuting. Or are these a sturdy type of rim? (Spokes are stainless steel interlaced cross 3.)
Not that it matters but if your bike is an early to mid 80's bike it is not in original condition. (Nice components though)
