Yo, Adrian_
That's nice. Excellent, aggressive frame.
Based on the fit you show, you know how to ride it, too.
Were you riding illegal road bikes before, or have you come over from some other biking?

I started out riding a brakeless fixed gear on the street because it was trendy, then I started doing longer rides a while ago and it just got more and more impractical so now a year later I have this.

Great looking bike, Adrian_!
Love those vintage Treks, steel or aluminium.
Here is my recent re-fit of my lady's 84' 610:
Brooks B17, 700c wheelset from velomine, ultegra 6500 rear derailluer (sticking with the original 600 vibe), velo orange faux-hammered fenders, athena 9spd levers. Changed my Ironman over to 2012 veloce, so I moved my shimergo setup over to her bike-- doesn't look too bad, and most of all she loves riding it.

tempting ... do you have to change the front & rear derailers or can you get by with just the STIs?

Have you perfected Shimergo? What are you running, Veloce 10 with Shimano 8 or something else? How has it been working for you? I've been very happy with my Chorus 10-->Shimano 8. Not perfect but better than straight Shimano 8.
