Friday beers, sounds good!
So how are your bikes? Let's see some pics!
Finished the 1st rideable version of my late 1960s Vittorio (Alkmaar, NL) today. This veritable mismash of a racer rides very well and fast but needs a rear derailleur (now DA 1st gen) without play.
And preferrably some more patina on the too new seatpost which has a very odd size, 26.6mm. The frame has (a very nice old school) Columbus decal though.
Mavic MA2 rims (laced to 1970s high flange Record hubs). Universal brakes (eeeeeek! better brake early/constantly on descents).
French touch: Pivo bar and stem, TA chainset 52/38, Sunrace pignon 14-26, 28mm Michelin dynamic classic tyres. Brooks professional saddle.
