So, another three weeks on, and I finally have some wheels on this! Campagnolo Delta V rims laced to low flange Pista hubs. I had decided to get Omega Vs in the end, as I found out they're remarkably light (despite the v section), and I thought they'd go well with the saddle somehow, but the Deltas look almost identical and are apparently even an upgrade... If anyone knows exactly what the difference between the Delta Vs and the Omega Vs is, please enlighten me.
The front is radially laced, which I might change when I get round to it, but for the meantime I am very happy as everything's in top condition (brand new spokes, NOS rims, and hardly a mark on the hubs), and they came fully built, which saves me a bit of cash... The tyres are Veloflex and I spent a small while this morning struggling to get them on without scratching the rims. I ended up putting the logos on the non-drive side to keep things looking clean this side, even though it took me ages to find ones with the old fashioned font.
There aren't too many things left to get now: Cranks, pedals/clips/straps, campag seat post bolt and a pair of winged C bar stoppers. Oh, and a chain.
The plan is either to get Campgnolo pedals, with Cinelli clips and straps, or some old school Cinelli M71s on there. That way all the contact points will be made by Cinelli. I'd be interested to hear what people think about the M71s???
And, whilst we're at it, what chain should I be using?
