Pretty funny. I was wondering,"why on earth does he want to put in an original binder bolt?" That was, without a doubt, the most butt-ugly of the components on my TdF. The first thing I removed. A homely zinc plated horror with a huge nut. So I hung that big, chromed Campy quick release monster on there 'cause it never occurred to me to put the petite Nuovo Record one on. Until now.

Franco-friendly or not, Colonel, I look forward to seeing what you come up with on this one.
