Bling

I want to build a single speed road bike so I've been looking at pictures on the forum to get ideas. I spotted a bike with a white crankset and thought that it looked really cool. I did some research and discovered that it was Shimano Sante, a groupset that they made in the late 80's. It was between Ultegra and Dura Ace. I've been told that they quit making the line because it was consider too yuppie. I first found the brake set on Craig's List Boulder Colorado and then the crankset on ebay. Brand new twenty year old stuff. This is just the start of my project. I don't even have a frame yet. I'm leaning towards a Soma Delancey. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
