• I think there is not much difference in braking power mainly because the bike weighs a lot

    I do think they look much better personally, and as @Lolo says, they're now period correct!

    As @amey says your front brake cable setup is, er, sub optimal. That kink will be reducing braking power for sure. I think get the setup right and you'll be happy with their performance!

    Out of interest, how much does the bike weigh? My Colnago is 8.6kg with the current wheels but as you know I'm planning to upgrade :)

  • If I would take a guess probably close to 10kg (and that’s me being generous)

    Will need a proper scale to measure it properly for this pretty much period piece before starting the upgrades/diet to make it more a lightweight & modern bike.
