As usual, the CR list is just great.

The only anachronistic parts right now on my otherwise all 1977-78 Macklam is a Dura Ace 6-speed freewheel (probably around 1982, but soooo much smoother and quieter running than the period-exact Regina-Suntour-Everest-Maillard options) and an SRAM chain. Oh, yeh, modern tires (of course): this is my daily & only rider.

I have looked longingly at the slotted and drilled Everest and Regina chains of the bike's birthdate (which I had on originally way back when), but at $50-75 each for NOS I've questioned the wisdom of going that route -- the SRAM does shift very very nicely with the Dura Ace fw & Campy SR set-up.
