I’ve just renovated my old steel thing, which is an early 90s Italian frame, which was built with Campagnolo groupset and Cinelli quill and criterium handlebars, hence the interest. It spent a long time doing nothing but last year I put some new wheels on it, and recently I thought, why not update it a bit? So I got some Campag Veloce (cheap as it’s discontinued and looks quite retro as a bonus) shifters, cassette and rear derailleur, Potenza brakes, pimpy KMC chain and it’s like a new bike. Put it all on myself and it hasn’t fallen apart! Only thing is, I’ve found I’m rubbish at bar tape. Again.
Really enjoying riding it.
