So I put the girl back together on the weekend.
The C-Record rear derailleur is still on the workbench and will get re-installed at some point. I decided that I wanted to stick with the Super Record brake calipers instead of putting the Deltas back on. The Super Record calipers simply look more elegant, so they stay. The Deltas didn’t make the cut.
I got the old girl all back together in time to noodle around the neighbourhood last night, and can honestly say I had forgotten how wonderful this bike is, it rides like a dream and fits like a glove – the way any bike should be.
A love affair re-born and hopefully we will have many more years together and much travel to come.
