quick release campagnolo brakes

[jpembroke]

Are you using old-style levers or Ergos? On an 80s bike it'd be cool to have downtube shifters and old-school Dia-Compe Gran-Compe brake levers with tan colour hoods. Sweet!

 

[Amanda P]

It would be cool. But if you can find (a) double downtube mount for a Moulton AM, or ( a pair of Dia Compe levers with the rubber hoods intact, please let me know. No-one else can.

It's got Ergos. I'm not after museum-piece originality, I'm after a comfy tourer with modern components.

a) Fair point

and

Fair point

so, er, fair point.

 

[Amanda P]

Phew.

Let off with a caution by the Style Police.

 

[jpembroke]

not so fast! That bike does not match your shoes......

 

[Amanda P]

...er, no, Ossifer, but I did have to shop around long and hard to find panniers with a leather panel matching the ones on the shoes.

And I am wearing mirror sunglasses under that hat.

*scuttles off hoping to get away with the fuel bottle outrage*

 

[jpembroke]

Mirror sunglasses? Like some 1980s US cop show? Like C.H.I.P.S.?

Oh good lord, whatever next? Is there no end to your sartorial sins

(Mind you, am I in a position to talk with that avatar?: Orange C+ jersey and a turquoise tricycle. Oh god, what was I thinking?)

Style police? Hah! Shimano? Campag??

Vintage Mavic is where it's at.
