Hi Matisse,
Thanks very much. Yes, I fancied a bit of retro Shimano. No idea what the frame would have been built up with originally. But, you're right the 600 stuff looks really nice. Although, I'm torn between the grey 600 brakes and the shiny silver Dia Compes that are on the bike at the moment. I reckon I'll plump with the 600s, as there's an outside chance they'll actually work....!
And, thanks for the tip on the frame. I have used a hub to persuade the stays out on another frame. It worked with that one. I'm going to give the cassette bodge a go first - research if nothing else :-p
Cheers
