Yow, you have *all new Campy Record equipment* on your bike and a YEAR LATER you've "changed everything?!"Why? What do you change to, Dura Ace? I don't get it?
Actually the parts are a mixture of almost new parts. Most of the components on the bike are about a year old.
Well, after I bought the bike I found out that the handlebars and forks were cracked and needed replacing. Luckily I found a good deal on a discontinued fork and bought the bars for a good price on Ebay. The new bars required a new stem because I bought the over sized 31.8mm bars.
A good deal came along on a used set of Topolino wheels and I just had to have them. You know how it goes.
Then, a few months ago a guy at my local bike shop had an almost new Campy triple for sale. Well, I live in an area with lots and lots of hills, so I replaced the front and rear DR, crankset and chain. I still have the old double which I might keep and use another bike some day or I might just sell the stuff on ebay.
The only parts left are the seatpost, brakes, shifters, headset and cycle computer. I will be replacing the cycle computer shortly. What I did learn from the experience is that I know what I like in a bike now. The next time I buy a bike I will just build it up from the frame.
