• Good luck with the stem!
    VMB means vintage modern bike, a somewhat confusing term coined by @gaston Basically silver more or less modern gear with a classic appearance, handbuilt wheels with shallow rims etc.

  • Got it out last night! Arms are feeling it today.

    I see! Yeah they look great but for now I have too much old kit kicking about spare. Theres something about the extra cables at the front end which I really don't like on flappy gear setups.

    I've got a set of Shamals and want to build a set of Mavic CXP30's up to Mavic 500's soon to get my intro into wheelbuilding started. What do you think about shamals to the Dura Ace kit thats on it atm? Should work right?

  • You could use silver campa 9 or 10 speed ergopower levers. They work well with 8 speed shimano casettes and derailleurs and don’t have the open shifter cable routing. Shamals are great but personally, I prefer shallower rims on thin tubed frames. The rims that are currently on the bike suit it perfectly imo :)
