1982 Colnago Super

IMO the biggest crime against bike aesthetics in the modern era is handlebar stems. If you want to keep it looking classic can't you just stick with a quill stem? Plenty brand new ones available. I'd go silver to match the seatpost, which I'd keep as well and just have a little polish up. Looks nice.

I'd thought about that - it would certainly eliminate the need for a headset converter. Will modern levers work correctly with the narrower-diameter bars? Might there be some hood looseness?

...and I like my Novatec silver hubs, although I was advised to use old style skewers for old style drop-outs on a steel frame, hence they've got Campag Veloce skewers.

Nice wheels. How is your experience with the Novatecs compared to that with more expensive hubs? The impression I get is that the law of diminishing returns applies rather steeply to hubs.

Gorgeous Gazelle you've got in there!
