Thanks people,
@spotter I sold it locally in Poland where I live. Brakes are...not as good as discs, I have to get used to it, maybe clean braking surfaces or try to set up them a little bit different. But they’re still gonna be just old long reach calipers. Anyway it’s not a race bike, so I don’t need anchors.
@Tijs they where 8s, but right one skips gears when in index mode, maybe it just needs clean up, maybe it’s just sth wrong with mechanism. I used friction mode, also with 8s cassette and it worked just fine, I just prefer brifters.
It’s good as it looks now, but I get bored quickly, so when it happens my plans are:
-proper mudguards like GB or VO (these are like 5£ pair, they work, but not the prettiest ones and could be longer)
-more classic front end, maybe I’ll try Nitto Randonneur with shorter stem
-and ofc skinwalls
Also, thread says about Serotta, so I’ll post some pics as soon as I get it back from painting. This gonna be nice one, I promise
