Tx700
Thanks to The Golden Boy and 3speedslow, along with a few pieces I had laying around, I was able to put the TX700 together for a whopping $18.03! Not including the purchase price of the frame/fork of course.

And yes, that cable routing announced itself on the initial shakedown ride :)

Sweet. I'd love to track down a TX 700 in my size. Very good taste in terms of parts as well. Shimano 600 is a great choice for this era bike.

That 600 group is what came on my 78 Trek 736. As far as the incestuousness goes- I bought the parts from [MENTION=302603]bikemig[/MENTION] (Stronglight and Superbe) that replaced the 600 stuff, then I sent the 600 stuff to [MENTION=252763]Flog00[/MENTION] right after I did a great deal with [MENTION=207730]3speedslow[/MENTION]!!! |
If I can't dial this thing in it will be yours. My perfect size is 55cm and this is 21" C to T.

I'd love to find a TX700 in my size with bad paint. Throw on some canti and bottle braze ons... Superbe brakes, Cyclone derailleurs, DiaCompe 981s... yummy!

I bet a tall stem (nitto) will fix that; that's only a cm difference.
I have everything pretty close to my Tomii as far as reach goes. It feels pretty good. I told Golden Boy this can be his ride when he visits Ohio. |

I am so glad to be a small part of this bikes return to active duty ! The HS looks like it belongs there.

That is really nice, and my size! If you want to dispose at some point, I'd like to be on the short list, too!
Would you share the S/N? Should be stamped on the bottom of the BB shell, letters and numbers. I have that same Huret front derailleur on my 610. I found it works better if the bottom of the outer cage plate is a lot closer to the arc of the large chainring, like about only 2 or 3 mm above. |

I cheated the derailleur up some to hide some paint damage, :) It shifts good. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4271/3...91f54008_h.jpg2017-06-04_11-15-27 by flog00, on Flickr |
