mostly inconsequential. We do count, however and a few brave souls do

Nevertheless, most of us (even here in RBW’s backyard) seldom cross paths
with cyclists with whom we have anything in common
Rich, et. al.
One of my RBWs—Sakuki—came to me as 2nd owner, but it was NOS. I'm not sure
it had seen the pave.
When it arrived, it was equipped with PAUL centerpulls. I know they work
well, but to my eye they were way out of proportion. So I sold them and
installed Dia Compe as seen on yours.

When you put your bike up, release tension on RD by shifting to the end so
that spring is relaxed. For sure, I have no empirical evidence this extends
spring life / strength, but it can't hurt, right?

My journey along this path began in 1997, with a Litespeed—full Record
group, 23mm tires that barely fit, carbon fork...light and fast. Lots of
fun to ride. The very next year, as I recall, the newer Record group
included those great Ergo levers that many of us still ride now—with the
guts removed
"And you can just replace the guts...DA bar ends & DT share internals..."
Or, maybe not.

Have any of you Shimano Dura Ace 9-speed folks ever 'worn out' either
bar-end or DT shift levers?
It must take years. And you can just replace the guts...DA bar ends & DT
share internals.

Ah, Rambouillet.
Here's mine, vintage 2004. I'm the only caretaker, day-by-day for all its
18 years:

This one happens to fit 32 mm under mudguards quite well—shod with RH 32mm
Stampede Pass, Supple Vitesse @ 33mm, and
Steve, et. al
Ohio is great and, of course, Circleville, is the halfway point in one of
the most famous and long-running century rides in the world — TORSV.
Starting in Columbus traditionally on Mother's Day, the 210 mile, 2-day
ride heads south from the state Capitol building and follows
Eric, et. al.:
I stumbled upon Shimano RR M760 quite a few years ago and snatched a bunch
of 'em up. Enough to mount on four 'daily' riders and a few more to replace
any that stop working or suffer trauma, etc.. Shift levers are all Dura-Ace
9 speed mounted on DT.
All of them are now as sharp
Last M760 RR data point — looking back at my old bike pix, at least one of
my reverse-normal M760s has been hard-at-work for 9 years. Was mounted in
2013 for sure, maybe just a bit earlier.
