I have decided to convert this back to L’eroica spec in time for my annual trip to Gaiole in October.
Progress is painfully slow. Today I removed the ‘klunker’ bars and fitted drops.
I want to swap out the Dura Ace shifters for some more recent Tektro ones. Last time I took this to Tuscany braking was rubbish, and I had to walk down some of the steeper hills. This, to my eternal shame led me to featuring in some ‘influencers’ You Tube video.
Anyhow, even with such a simple task, progress has been slow. I have only fitted one lever and have now succumbed to a glass of Rioja.
Thankfully I have a few weeks, but this could go down to the wire.
