About 5 years ago I happened across one of Kevin Livingston's frames from the '99 season (only year for the quill stem USPS bike). I built it up with NOS 7800 Dura Ace 10 speed stuff and then built one up for the wife in her size, try to get them out a few times a year. Still a great riding bike in my opinion.
wow nice..a matching set. Good call on the 7800 drivetrain. Riding my 7700 9s shifters is a reminder of how far they have come in the last 20 years. (I do prefer the look of 7700 cranks on this gen of bike though)
@farva thanks and agreed 7700 crankset would look good, one would really have to look to notice the 10 speed then.
