Bikes: 2 many 2 fit here

Here are a couple of shots from my recent FrankenCilo build. It is for work, not show, not not as shiny as some of the bikes here. The first photo shows the ubiquitous Weinmann I initially installled before I had the Mafac Competitions worked out. Also, the bike left brake lever has now been replaced with one matching the bike right lever. They are matched set of two, but one was cracked and was out for repair when I first built the bike, hence the initial mismatch. These levers are later Weinmanns; I'm not sure about the exact vintage, but I chose them because I think they're attractive, and yet they accept the readily available Cane Creek hoods, important for a working bike. The second photo shows the Competition caliper now in place. I had to improvise the straddle cables, but they function fine. Also notice the Kool Stop pads, now available for vintage Mafacs.
