The Bullseye Pulleys are a good idea in early DA, looks like you are going 8 speed, eh?

It's either my monitor or my eyes...or both. Still like the blue/yellow combo too.

I just got Cane Creek Aero levers. Do you know if those Tektros are about the same size?
I noticed that I got REALLY used to the size of brifters that aero levers seem so small now when I'm on the hoods.

Nice!

But you need to be more of a tease with the pictures to get people coming back for more. You led with the full monty.

Very nice. What year.

And now, once again, a chance to post my 1985 and 1987 Teams.

I got a set of those Campy Xenon brakes for a cheapo fixed gear project. They go for about $25/set on ebay. I also had the barrel adjusters pop out of the rubber o ring that holds them in place so keep an eye on that, not trying to be an @$$, they're just not very good brakes.
