Is it a Sin?
I picked up an old Colnago Master Frame and I have a spare mixed Ultegra group laying around.
Is it a sin to put Shimano on a semi-vintage Italian bike?
I guess I could get it on the road real cheap, but I don't want to get lynched either.

stole your bike
I wasn't aware people were being lynched for this kind of thing. Seriously though, a bike that you can ride is better than just leaving the frame there to collect dust or thin your wallet getting the "right" components if you don't want to do that. Ultegra's a great gruppo to throw on so do it until you come across some Campys for cheap if you're so inclined.

My plan is to pick up an old Schwinn Varsity and put all Campy on it with some Zipp aero wheels. Oh, plastic handle bar tape also, and a kickstand, seeing as the stand holder is probably welded to the frame already.

I think it's a sin to have a bike lying around with your butt firmly planted in a chair asking "is it a sin to.." on an internet forum.

Hi,
Bad idea! I think it could cause the frame to inexplicably fail at the lugs.
A nice new Centaur group would look good on the bike. I just know it.
