I know this isn't strictly C&V anymore, but I wanted to post a few pictures and thank a couple of C&Vers. Thanks to Richard (23skiddoo) for the front derailleur trade, Evan (fastev) for the fork and headset at a steal, and a huge HUGE
HUGE thank you to Victor (vjp) for the very elusive Cyclops decals.
It's 7 speed Shimano 600 with an Ultegra/Open Pro wheel set. Some day when I happen upon the right head set and seat post, I'll put the original fork on and get it more c&v, but I'm quite happy with the ride like this and in no particular hurry. This was my first time putting on decals and the only one that I majorly bungled is hidden behind the bottle cage (didn't quite account for the bottle boss and things went a bit pear shaped).
