Do any list members have these components in good to excellent condition for sale or trade? R. G. Handsfield --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds like you have a nice project coming along. Sorry I can't help you out with parts, but I must comment on my own surprise when it has come to the quality level of Dura Ace parts in general. I must admit that I am one of those who prefers Campy over Dura-Ace most any day of the week.Yes, the limited compatabilty/parts availablity from one year to the next has fueled my distrust of Dura-Ace. But on the other hand, of the Dura-Ace parts that have passed my way, I can only say they are very high-quality designed and built components. cheers, Dave--perhaps becoming less adversed to using Dura-Ace parts in the
