[QUOTE=CurtEgerer;12372870]I was hoping that it was some special bike built for a racer .... but no joy there. He said he built it for a local woman as a "general purpose sport bike, but quite light for the day". I've been looking at Suntour Superbe and/or Cyclone parts just to have something different. Dang, the prices have skyrocketed on that stuff. More than Campy it seems. I think everybody treated Campy like Rolex so there's lots of it left but old Shimano & Suntour was thrown in the trash.
My first real race bike had Suntour Superbe due to lack of funds for Campy. Rode the hell out of it and it shifted great. This was around 84. Suntour made great components back then. Now thinking about it, it was as good or better then Campy. I still have that bike but it has Super Record on it now for oldtime sake. Look for some MKS track pedals. All the hot dog racers rode them due to it being super light, no quill for better corner clearance. That or Cut the quill off the campy pedals. Will you have clips and straps or clipless on this?
My Merlin Ti frame is a Tom Kellogg built frame. He makes a nice product.
