Thanks for the reply cycleheimer. That mixte looks sharp. What model year is it? For some reason my pc wouldn't load your pics when I clicked on them. I'll follow your advice and probably only buy a new chain and cables for my Super Speed.

The crankset on my bike has alloy arms, steel spider, steel rings, and no rust! I have several old wheels in my basement with both steel and alloy high flange hubs (some Q/R, some not) on steel rims. Should be enough there to match a set together, provided I relace one wheel so both hubs and rims are the same.

Could you let me know if the hubs on that mixte are alloy or steel? High flange or low? Rat trap or SR alloy pedals? Also, what brand and model of brake levers does it have? I'd kinda like to use those Shimano 600 brake levers on my commuter. I might be able to dig up some dual control levers from my junk box as replacements on the Kabuki.
