Plan is full 7700 a la Lance, minus the shifters as I hate the cable exit on 77/7800.
Full Lance would be a downtube front shifter:

Full Lance
Never go full Lance. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full Lance, went home empty-handed.

Yeah, 7400? downtube lever as he claimed it saved him like 90g? Lol Weightweenie
I think the one here is from 2002/2003 - looks like 7800 brakes, ahead, 31.8 bars, Nike co sponsor etc
I was thinking closely recreating the 1999 bike but as I don’t want to cut steerer and fit threaded headset so might as well make a few more deviations 😉
How drastic is the cable pull difference on 7900 compared to 77/7800? Can get a Jtek for rear but how will FD & brakes perform?

Only going up Huez.

Used to own one of these (in the dark grey 1 1/8th model), loved it, sold it, saw this team blue 1” ahead from 1999 & wanted to revisit.

Proper TdF spec would’ve been 7410 headset & Cinelli 101 quill. Don’t want to cut the original fork so will run ahead although stem choice is limited unless I run a shim.
Decided on ITM eclypse ahead + Nitto M106NAS, kind of tempted to find loud USA flag bar tape.
