I ride new TTT stems today. There is no need to talk about the Campy Stupid Record is there? They simply are indestructible, not to mention they are the prettiest cranks ever made. Including today's ugly but super light units. People broke the Super Record Ti BBs. I remember seeing a picture of Laurent Figon, "The Professor", sitting on the side of the road holding his Johnson due to the broken Ti BB. I heard people talking about it breaking on them in our club, but never seem it happened personally. The steel ones are super strong that I know for sure.

The question isn't about the 1R or SR components, it's about the LeMond branding on them. He didn't have a line of bikes at the time (1984-85) as far as I know. So what were they for? Maybe he was selling individual components with the Team LeMond pantograph?
Nice tip on the OMAS bolts
Will not be using a SR titanium axle. Had one when new and it lasted less than a year due to heavy galling on the bearing surfaces. This isn't exactly a cost-no-object build, but OTOH, my wife knows nothing (and will no nothing) of my budget for this little project either
Another nice 1R, but a bit blingy for a serious build:
