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.

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.

Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT
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!

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.
