a progress report on mine, a 1984 Professional
assembled by Peter, a LBS owner who grew up racing bikes of this vintage.
The gear levers were from his parts box, and checked using his original hard copy catalogue from the 1980s.
The period correct NOS cables and outers were from the collection stored at his mums house where his dad had moved the stock from the bike shop.
Peters dad used to build high quality bike frames at the shop.
Up to me to do the last few bits.
[edit]
tyres on, seat and post mounted, quick ride around the suburb in the last light of the day.
Clips and straps to go on, as well as my attempt to sew on the kangaroo leather bar covers.
