CR List Friends,

I happened on a beautiful complete 6 speed Dura Ace group and bought it. I received it last night and it is definitely some fine equipment in excellent shape.

One problem I have, is figuring out what to put it on. All my frames are (with 3 exceptions) either very French or very Italian.

Here are the candidates (all steel lugged of course): 63 Paramount 69 PX-10 85 PZ-10 Mid 80s Bianchi Veloce Late 80s Bianchi Stelvio Late 90s Masi Team 3V Late 90s Ciocc 72 Chrome Carlton Cobra Old Olmo 70s Speedwell

The Olmo, Masi, Ciocc, PZ-10, Bianchi's, and Paramount all came with Campy and scream give me Campy! So I have been slowing gathering up Campy components especially for the PZ-10, Paramount, 3V and Ciocc.

I also have a very nice and complete Shimano 600 Arabesque group - same (nice) problem.

I'm thinking of playing musical groups for a while just to experiment. The only one really not readily compatible is the PX-10.

Tell me what would you do? I'm sure you will have different opinions, but I'm curious.

Thank you,

Jon M. Crate Marietta, Georgia USA
