Bars are 3TTT competizione tour de france, with a NOS 3TTT synthesis stem. Levers are Shimano 600 I believe (also NOS).

Going for the dura ace 7400 groupset (in keeping with the age of the frame). The brake levers are basically NOS. Apparently used, but definitely dont look it.

Shifters are dura ace 7 spd. 8 spd would probably be closer to the vintage of this bike, but I wanted to go down tube shifters, and 8 spd DA are hard to find.

Dura ace 7402 RD, which looks brand new from the front, but has a few scratches on the rear of the cage.

And lightly used (with some light typical crank arm scratches) cranks

Have also got some polished up 7 spd DA hubs to be built into wheels.

So as you can see I've been going to a close to NOS/near new component level. I still need some items - seat post, wheels, cassette, chain, BB and the FD on is a 7700, so will replace that eventually. If anyone has any of these available, feel free to let me know. Thinking white bar tape and white seat would go nicely. Will update when more parts are purchased.

Clamp on Front Deraileur?
32 hole rims?
I think the DA seatpole you will be looking for is SP-7400? You think 8s down tube shifters are rare .....

Thanks, the photos really don't do it justice. Odd colour scheme, but it really works. Will look great complete I reckon.pentlandexile wrote:That's a fantastic looking bike.

Quick question for anyone out there - can I use current shimano compatible brake and gear cables? Will the cable end fit properly into the brake and gear levers?
Cheers

Cable away - no issues that I'm aware of. Off topic - the frame looks in better condition than your carpet :Otripstobaltimore wrote:3ttt competizione bars.

Hmm, okay, not sure where it went. I PM'd you that I had some nice 32h pairs of period rims, but they're no good to you. I suggest some silver Velocity A23s as you might struggle to find a period matching 32/36 pair.tripstobaltimore wrote:Braze on FD. The front rim is 32 hole,rear is 36.

Always wanted a tutti frutti (and a team 7-eleven). Got a Motorola Corsa, Molteni MXL and 10th Anniversary amongst others....

I've also got a blue corsa extra im building up with DA EX gear (which will be finished before this one...). Its a lovely frame. I also want to get an MXL at some stage. I love the 7-eleven colours too. Will hopefully own one of them one day too hahafatfixie wrote:Lovely

Small update - BB has arrived, pic of bike with cranks mounted. Have some rims (open pro's) and spokes on the way, will build up the rim when they arrive.
