OY! We should call Bike Social Services and have that bike put in protective custody immediately.
May I ask a question or two? Why did you change the brakes? I got the impression from your other post on your Bianchis that you had made this long and difficult search for two perfect original bikes, and I believe at one point you even made a snarky comment about how one of them was equipped and the experts being wrong. So why the change?
BTW if I was taking off those black Equippe brakes just to put silver ones on I would have gone with NR or Victory caliper.
PS: PM me your address and I'll send you a few.
