Awesome. Now dremmel off the brake lines and put track ends on it. There's a mostly complete 80's DA group sitting at my LBS. Some guy found his dad's old road bike and stripped the stuff to convert it. Beautiful downtube shifters and awesome dimpled chainring.

convert the hell out of it! Mine sat around and got ridden maybe once every two weeks as a pure roadie. Since the conversion it has seen nearly 10,000 miles and is ridden almost every day of the week!

I think you have already made your opinion abundantly clear in this thread, despite nobody asking for it.

'Before' pictures:
The brakes that came off were NOT Deltas. My boss came into the basement and asked me "hey, you know those Campy brakes that are worth a lot of money? Are those the ones?" I told him they weren't but he still wanted to keep them. (I personally always found Delta's to be a ***** to work on.......obscure imperial allen keys, needle nose pliers, fine motor coordination and gobs of time and concentration are not usually things I care to utilize on a simple brake adjust) ANYWAY there were chainline issues with the conversion so i will probably respace the hub and re-dish the wheel for STEEKER if he will leave the bike with us again, but he probably will not want to part with it until after the honeymoon. Said chainline issues also led to low-ish gearing of 42-18 but we can take care of that once the hub is done.......and it probably ain't such a bad thing for those big ol' Beaches hills!
