I road this bike alot for 4 years before injury and "life" got in the way.
It is an RS-400 [I think] 3.0 Crit frame. Has a few upgrades, Ultegra headset, Cinelle bars and stem, Campy titanium bottom bracket, Dura Ace crank w/ 52/39 rings. Used to have a J-Disc with Regina America 12-19 cassette [that was sweeeet!].
OK, after too many years and too many beers, I'm determined to get back in the saddle. I've already posted about nasty tendinitis pain in my elbows, which I hope will be aleviated with arm bands. And Fitzik bar tape + gel.
I'm also thinking about swapping out the steel fork for an Easton carbon fork. Don't see much else that makes economic sense, whether it's trying to build another rear wheel with whatever 125mm hub and 7-speed gearing I can find, or converting to STI shifters.
It's not a lot, but is what I'm proposing worth the effort?
Apologies for the long post, but I wanted to cover all the details.
