Latest incarnation of my 1992 Univega Superstrada OS frameset:
New wheels, Shimano 10 Speed Stuff (mix of 5700 105 and 6800 Ultegra). Schwalbe ONE 28mm clinchers-- officially my new favorite tire!

My first bike was a Miele. Last week I purchased a nice Miele Azsora Ishiwata 022 quad butted frame, with 105 dt shifters. Since it's kind of hilly around here, I bought a somewhat-period correct campy athena 8-sp STI group for it! Now to put the two together and hope it mostly fits...

1991 Team USA Raleigh Technium 753 purchased as frame/fork with a few extras from @brockd15 had to toss the fork that came with it, ended up going with a 6500 drivetrain (1055 brakes for now until the 6500's arrive), I did have to "live with" mavic hubs instead of Ultegra 6500... the pedals/seatpost/fork/stem/bars/headset are all on the future upgrade list still.

Fresh off the garage floor assembly line is the second incarnation of my Olympia Fusari with Sram Force. I wanted this frame to be the best it can be to ride with what I have, weight is 7.8kg or 17.3 lbs. 9s record is going on my aussie Paino.

Quite frequently, threaded to threadless adapters of various types. Often can be had in the $10-20 range, but nicer ones run more.

Very nice bike, although I'd have a quill stem personally. How much weight do you loose with modern stem and bar?

Thanks, the Modolo quill stem bars and levers went straight over to my basso as one (temporary) The ITM is much less flexy and cost $2.70 on the bay. Not sure about the weight, the photo makes it look kinda longer than it really is.

I actually tried a threadless converter on this bike, but I really do think the quill looks better and is stiff enough setup low like that, which gives me the position I want anyhow.

Finally finished assembling this Pinarello Montello. Picked up the frame a while ago but with work and family obligations, it has taken a me a lot longer to put together than I originally thought. It's a mix of modern (wheels, brakes and cockpit), somewhat old (8spd Record Titanium drivetrain) and old (frame). This bike is probably too modern for some here as it was put together from extra parts that I had. Although I prefer the look of a quill stem I also didn't want to spend money on a new quill stem and handlebar when I had parts lying around that would work. It came together relatively light at 19.8Lbs.

I'll be joining this thread soon. I just ordered a 10 speed 105 group for my Ironman and stripped it down to the frame to get the process started. I'll be back in a couple of weeks with photos once it's completed

@rms13: nice! the 105 is a great group. make sure you get your hands on some plain metal ferrules to use with the housing. the cable kit may come with the sealed ferrules that have a rubber o-ring built in, believe it or not this creates noticeable drag and makes the system shift poorly.

When you upgrade shifters does it always require a new cassette & derailleur or can you make new shifters work with 6 & 7 speeds and just adjust the limit screws? What do you guys do?
For example, I have a bike with 126 mm dropout spacing and a 6 speed freewheel. I don't want to cold set it to 130 mm and I'm fine with a 6 or 7 speed, but it might be cool to upgrade to a 105 group in the future.

Thanks Chuck! I took it out for the first time today and it still needs a little bit more fine tuning. The steering is faster than expected but overall it rode pretty well. Something in the headset, adapter or the threadless stem is loose as braking while descending caused a front end judder. Definitely not confidence inspiring and kept me from going faster downhill but it's not the bike's fault. It's mine for not making sure everything is properly torqued.
