The red cotton tape, and the Weinmann brakeset with hoods is what got me at first.

Come to think of it, the only noticeable differences that I see are the tires, the correct NR inner ring, decals, and brake line routing (I'm right-front. Housing color is the same).

EDIT: The biggest difference is that the Cirque example has a Nervex fork crown w/the Prugnat lugs - mine uses the teardrop lug (I forget whether it is a Prugnat or another lug set).



I do note that I have the long-reach Weinmann levers though; the one at Cirque has the short-reach variant. Mine might also be about 1cm larger - 61cm vs 60.

Thanks for sharing - I wonder if Picasa photos have a longer life than Photobucket. It hurts to see two month old threads with blank squares "deleted from Photobucket"...
Let's hope it dries out soon
