There's a long and interesting (to me, at least) story behind this bike. First, the Dura-Ace drivetrain was given to me by my boss when he upgraded to a triple chainring setup. Believe it or not, that conversion necessitated the replacement of basically everything in his drivetrain. He preferred giving the components away to spending a few hours cleaning them, so offered them to me. I readily took them off his hands :-).

Once I started building the bike up I noticed some irregularities in the top tube. Long story short, after I took some carefully lit pictures and posted them to http://forums.roadbikereview.com, it was determined that this frame must have been wrecked (pix). I contacted the seller and he graciously refunded $150, making my total outlay $205 for the frame and brakes. If the frame turned out to be rideable, then it was a great deal. If not, then a lesson had at least been learned.
