Relaxing!

Submitted by vintageWW on 03/24/2011.

The cross-chaining is just how all of my bikes sit to keep the cables relaxed

OK OK OK OK

Submitted by vintageWW on 03/23/2011.

I drilled the shifters at frst but unforchantly I did it a bit uneven with the hand drill. To me that looked much worse but Im still going to get some new 7800 (dt) shifters and give it another go because I like long levers and love friction shifting and the new 7900 is SIS only.

don't screw up!

Submitted by rodentfield on 03/29/2011.

Dura-Ace shifters aren't exactly cheap or abundant...you better make sure you know what you're doing if you're going to take a hand drill to gem-like parts like these again. Either that or go for the more aerodynamic and naturally better-looking style and don't drill at all.

playing devil's advocate

Submitted by the fumingator on 03/29/2011.

BTI carries them in stock and most bike shops are dealers for them. pretty sure they're still currently in production.

Friction

Submitted by jburnha on 03/23/2011.

Shimano screwed up on that release, I too was disappointed to find that the 10sp barend was index-only. ...The matte shifter pods are sure nice though; currently trying out running DT-7700 on 7900 pods, hah! Do you have a personal drill press for doing all of this work?

Can't stop staring :

Submitted by jburnha on 03/23/2011.

I can't stop staring at the FD-7900 and it being drilled out. I can't tell if I am impressed or just flabbergasted.!? But yeah, well done in terms of the weight on an early nineties c'dale. Thanks for sharing

Submitted by nikita on 03/23/2011.

cut shifters?

Submitted by rodentfield on 03/23/2011.

That's an impressively light bike, but I think it would have been well worth the extra 10 grams to not cut the shifters.

its making me lightheaded

Submitted by tracksloth on 03/23/2011.

But I agree, cutting the shifters, no doubt less than 10g, must be personal preference here (personally i like to grab the tops, not to mention prefer the look - uncut) and also begs the question why not tune some DA sti's? Crazy light bike like this may destabilize at high speed while youre reaching for the shift to those stubbies and just fly away out from under you.

Not hating tho actually really really digging the build. And oh man the paint...
