eBay purchase. Late 70's/early 80's Viner Stella Pro with Columbus SL tubing and a mix of Campag/Galli/Gipiemme/3TTT/Nisi parts.
Mostly changing parts for better fit, and to replace stuff that's worn. Would really like to ride the Retro Ronde next year, so would like to have it finished by then.
Seat post already changed to a Campag aero post as the 3TTT post didn't give much extension.
Next to change is the brake levers, the hoods are cracked and replacement Galli hoods are difficult to find (Campag style ones don't fit). Have bought a pair of Campag Nuovo Record levers with new hoods to replace the Galli's.
Will re-tape the bars when fitting the Campag levers as the current bar tape is a bit tatty. Was thinking either Newbaum or Velox cotton bar tape - White, Yellow or Black ?
Will need to change the tubs too as the base tape on the old Vittoria/Wolber tubs is coming away. The bike will mostly be used for cafe city rides this year, so want a pair of hard wearing gumwall tubs - anyone have any experience of Challenge Vulcano's ?
Will fit nicer tubs next year in prep for the Retro Ronde
