Looking good! Except for the wheels... are there any real advantages of that spoke pattern that would justify the looks? @mdcc_tester
Sig_Arlecchino-
are there any real advantages of that spoke pattern that would justify the looks?
Only on the rear, where 16 drive side spokes give the strength of a 32 spoke wheel, and 8 nds are enough to provide balance. They've stopped doing the fronts like that because even Campag eventually realised it was dumb.

Trip to BC and @hillbilly sorted out the left shifter for me. Thanks Jim.
Now I've re-cabled the rear brake. Installed the chain. Indexed the gears.
Nearly all good to go.
Also bought some black tape.
