Vive La France!


Progress is being made stronglight headset with sealed bearings is in, chainset is on too. A neat feature with this campy one is the fixing bolts also act as extractor bolts due to a retaining ring. Front mech was all cleaned up and looks quite smart. The rear mech was a bit of a puzzle, on more modern mechs the frame fixing bolt incorporates a spring to allow it to rotate, also there is a cable adjuster. On this late 80's gem neither are fitted which adds to the simplicity.
Now the french do have a bit of flair, the brake levers are not the ones shown but Modolo aero levers these have a neat roller for the cable to run in, and then we have the wheels. they deserve a blog of their own!
