Much anticipated photos of winter build
Behold! Ultimate bike porn. Please, no jealous replies.
Note the understated decals.
The Ross was given to me and the 500EX stuff and MA 40 wheels are off my 1990 Schwinn 594. The FD was a spare. Total invested - $45
Cinelli cork / 500EX levers
The highly coveted Bio-Pace chainrings/500EX crank and Ultegra 6500 FD
Salvaged Shimano RD
Shimano 500EX brake (unconventional mounting) don't ask!!

I had to combine parts from the original Dia-Compe calipers to get one usable one. The 500EX wouldn't work on the front and the hole in the rear mount was drilled at an angle so the pads wouldn't reach from the back side.

Nice, that stand must have taken quite some time to make.
Here are some more from the same manufacturer -
Here's one that holds several bikes -

Wow my winter build seems to be a bit thicker in the middle, I'd rather not take any pics....I'll be working on fixing that in Jan.
