I know - I did a crappy descriptor of "different". I guess to me it was quite a departure (perhaps if I'd have been picking up something with an IGH or something like that!)
Anyway, that is a really first-class Italian stallion for sure, DD.... Impressive. (-One change I'd have to make though, is to go with non-aero's: IMHO the chromed tube cable guides clash with those levers!)
Thanks! The modern brakes have already been removed and I have a set of early 70s Campy brakes to put on as a stop-gap until I can locate some Universal 68s. In fact, I will either list the Veloce/Soma brake stuff for trade here or perhaps use the calipers on the Davidson. Or pass them along to someone who may be interested in modern for classic. In any case, they're not going back on the bike.
