I gave up trying to find all the triple-specific Record components individually, as complete groups didn't exist. And like you say, ignoring the prices! In the end I had to buy another bike to harvest the parts. The front mech is a triple-specific version and the rear is a long-reach (RD4-REXL). More info here.
I'm coming from Shimano and was easy to set-up, hardest part is trying to remember you have a granny gear should/when you need it for fully loaded inclines.

Great, thanks a lot, and for the link too.
I've only got experience of Campag doubles so wasn't sure whats what with triples, and as the compact cranks came out not too long after it seems to have mostly killed off the triples and as a result there doesn't seem much of it about.
I made the fatal mistake of getting dazzled by the shiny and bought a NOS Campag triple crank, only then to discover the eye watering costs of the rest of the bits I needed to get it working. Even for Campagnolo the patron saint of money pits, that was more costly than expected.
If I'd seen this a month or two ago I would probably have bought this, too late for that now sadly as have gone a different direction.
Yours is a lot of bike for the money so sure it will go to a good home, and Graham will be pleased its wheels keep on turning.

Lovely bike, GLWS, and that Record triple stuff is hella spendy these days so seems a very good deal.
Can I ask what front mech you have for running a triple? Is it a dedicated triple one or is there enough throw on a regular double FD to work? And is it more finicky to set up a triple than a double or was it as easy to set up?
