Ok, I know going to 105 was stupid. At the time I was commuting into the hills of Santa Clara Valley and wanted more/wider gearing (7 speed cluster vs 5). Along with index shifting and hidden brake cables. How was I to know that a bunch of aging yuppies (like myself) would someday bid the price up. I road to work about 200 days a year on this bike, averaging about 20 miles/day for 20 years. That's 80k miles. Some of the parts I replaced were just worn out.

I wasn't set on selling. Just curious if I had something of value.

WRT the lugging. The seat post joint and the head joints are lugged, although they are nicely hand tapered to a fine point. The bottom of the seat tube (which is oval) is fillet brazed into the bottom bracket. I'll have those pix up tomorrow.

Sounds like I may need to spend some ebay time getting this back to all campy.
