It'll be a long while before I ever get to the UO-10, it's just a frame, crank, headset and shifters. I love French bikes, so this one will be my baby once I've got funds to start it (hopefully by Christmas!)
The Raleigh desperately needs a repaint, and all the components were thoroughly rusted and pitted, so they were trashed. Hopefully I'll get that done within 2 years.
My main is almost done. Once the new stem and bars come in the mail, they'll get taped with Newbaum's and I'll call it done till I can either afford to buy a new wheelset or find appropriate rims to lace the hubs to.

My main bike, the Fuji Professional is basically done. Its built more to period spec than OEM, with a few concessions to modernity given that it's a rider and not a show bike. Try to keep the anachronisms subtle though. Heavy on the Campagnolo, with Huret retrofriction shifters, and Sugino cranks. Latest addition is a Gimondi bend 3ttt Superleggero bar and a SR Royal Extra Super Light stem. Still want to swap out the headset for something more period correct (currently Deore XT) and I want to find a front wheel to go with the Mavic MA40 I have on the back.
After that, it's getting the Fuji Team put back together for wifey.

I had the most beautiful afternoon yesterday, so I took the opportunity to take some pix and do these brake pads. I'd forgotten I'd scored a couple of DiaCompe rear QR cable hangers- and the 720 would benefit from just such a device.
The cable hanger didn't have enough room between the seat post and the binder, so I had to grind down one side.


I am a little worried because of how close the hanger is to the right seat stay, I'm afraid it's going to rub. We'll see if a clear vinyl protector will stick.

And I also got the nifty finned Scott/Mathauser shoes on. The front shoe may be rubbing on the fork leg, I'll have to see how this goes...




From the other Scott/Mathauser thread I started:
