Next on the list (and one of my favourite bits!) was brakes - Croce D Aune Deltas
Gorgeous things - in not a little bonkers...
First job was finding the elusive 3.5mm allen key needed for the cable stop, followed by another quirk of the deltas..... Cutting the cable in the fraction of mm's you have between the cable clamp and the bottom of the sealed housing (as pictured) - I just about got my cutters in, but wasnt the cleanest of snips!
Also got some Very shiny mavic MA2's to go with
That yellow saddle had to go - Although I didn't think an beat up old thing from the 80s would look right with the refurb'ed frame / all that chrome so opted for a brooks swallow and matching leather tape
Got the pedals on and I'm done!
Took it out on a hilly 100 miler on the weekend - other than a few bits needed tightening up it rode great! Will get some decent photos on the ride :-)
