I prefer Campagnolo Retro-Shifters, for performance and beauty, like a glimmering gem on your down tube vintage road bike.
Campagnolo Record C Retro-Shifters:
if the shifters are properly adjusted there should be no need for adjustment, although we all reach down and fool with it because it is the only thing we can 'check' while riding.
are these shifters installed? any chance you can spread the parts on the table and take a pic of the washers and the inside?
