I have a new pair of 32 hole single eyelet Syncros disc rims in the attic. They are white, which might fit in with the graphics on the bike. Not sure when I will be coming your way. I could easily get them to Geneseo, which wouldn't be much farther if you were visiting Wright's.

I'd never seen the Shimano thumb shifters that mount to the brake levers before. I wonder if that was exclusive to the Exage line.

I have a 90 degree one that's about the same size as a pop rivet tool. It has several mandrels for different threads.

Sure sounds like it's a 2000 model to me.

Yes, meant to post 8.5 kg.

I still have plenty of NOS SunTour SE cantis. I should get busy and try a set on the front of something and see if I can make them throw me over the bars.

Do we know where the team was based?

I bought a pretty nice '97 Super V 2000 locally for $400.

I built mine with Campagnolo 10 speed and aluminum rims. If it's under 18.5 kg I'd be surprised.

Bike looks good. I may have to build mine up. Have to figure out what I did with the fork...

I would start with a new cassette and chain. Those will usually fix skipping chain.

About the same here in IL the past few days. Temps in the 90s and humidity in the 75% range. Air so thick that you can see haze in any view of any distance. I would have liked to mow some hay but it's not worth the effort in these conditions.

Good to hear that you're making progress on the shifting. The SunTour thumbshifters have always been good for me. I've had them on several bikes and never had a problem with them. I need to get the planned changes (tires, etc.) done to my 1992 M1000 and get it out for some photos. It's...

I have both and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference based on ride.

I spent Friday through Sunday at the 40th anniversary reunion of my car's Indy 500 win. Missed the flyover but it's always impressive. Had good chats with former team members who own Cannondales.
