I may help you out with the brakes, Neil, if you promise to swap the saddle (and maybe the seat post), too! ;-)
Did you ever look out for a Bassano Vuelta saddle?
One of the best saddles my bum ever met and (match the frame tubing), Reynolds 531 rails.
There must also be a couple of hundreds, if not thousands, with Gazelle name or logo on the back. Just a tip.
Thank you!
I am already planning to swap out the saddle for something more suitable - I was actually looking for a white Concor - the Bassano Vuleta is a great tip, though! I'll certainly look out for one. The seatpost is a little too short anyway, so it will have to go when I can find something suitable.
Frustratingly, I broke a spoke yesterday, so my dura-ace wheels will be taking a break until that gets repaired. Back to my 105 clinchers for the time being...
Still, what a great machine it is! Very responsive while also being super comfortable to ride. Love it!
