BB: 1st generation Super Record w/ Arnold alloy bolts

Ft der: The reverse-action Suntour model with alloy cage (NO IDEA of the name)

Brakes should be Modolo Kronos... but maybe somehow add the DC extension levers

Freewheel: Early Regina CX fw's had a habit of exploding, but the ALL ALLOY Maillard is pretty darn scary. Alloy ball races and everything else except, balls, pawls amd outer cone.

CLB alloy cables!

Plastic Ofmega rear der

Anyone know a good sure-to-fail early alloy railed saddle?

Dare I say Record crank arms? Surely something is worse.

Not sure which is the "brakenest" bar, but drilling it for aero cables is always a "plus"

The old Hi-E skewers always seemed scary, but I don't know if they were an actual hazard.

How about the alloy chain that Everest made? They must have been intersting.

Make the Ergals 28-hole and use 16 gauge spokes.... or just use any Hoshi spokes

I like this idea, and I hope others will contribute. I had trouble with Hoshi spokes, for example, but surely something was even worse, back in the 60's.

Apologies to the esteemed Mr. Parker for the Record crank and Ergal slams...
