Probably a little more vintage than I need really, would be interested to see pictures, but I suspect I'll be better off with something a little more modern (as much as anything with downtube shifters can be).
Not that I'd rule it out, but I assume something like that is likely to be more desirable to someone looking to build up an old bike authentically, whereas I just want something that works well and doesn't look terrible...
(however road bike gears are a bit of a mystery to me - I'm much better with mountain bike ones, so I'm likely to be quite wrong on all sorts of things).
