Don't call me sir
I came across some 70's Dura ace parts (FD, RD, Shifters and Freewheel). Traded some 105 stuff for it at the shop I work at. I was wondering if anyone had experience with these parts and what your opinion of them might be.
The parts are excellent, every equivalent of the contemporary campy stuff. The rear derailleur works much better (IMHO) than nuovo record. I also think that the brakes work better, although that is much more subjective. I believe the black stuff was earlier than the all-silver, and it is relatively hard to get a complete set together. The parts are date-coded (look at vintage-trek), but the codes aren't completely trustworthy. post us some pictures!

The vintage Dura Ace stuff is very close in quality to Suntour Superbe!
