What I find interesting is that Peter makes the quantum leap from Campy to Hi-E. I consider Hi-E stuff really cool, but to jump from "the standard" to the really idiosyncratic as the next choice is quite interesting.

Just an offhand comment here Sheldon... Good info for future use, but after seeing the quality of work and the high aesthetics that Peter W. brings to his bike builds I don't think he is looking for a "kluge" solution?
