I like the white tape, works here.
+1 on the chain length.
And the white half hoods for those MAFAC levers will complete the white complements.
Learned a lesson about chains this weekend ... apparently the KMC chains with "missing link" have to be shortened in a special way, and preferably before installation. Fortunately I had a backup, but now I know.
Aren't those MAFAC half hoods ridiculously priced? I think I have seen them for like $50 on eBay ...
This is a great score! Rare to find such a high quality mixte frame. Would love to add one to my collection.
You've been a busy boy...Bianchi, mixte. N+1 bug bit you good!
How did that first SS-coaster project turn out?
Yeah, the Libertas really was a score. [MENTION=299673]puchfinnland[/MENTION] encouraged me to jump on this when I was waffling, and am I glad he did. Mike knows how to spot something unique and interesting!
And yeah ... the Russians say that a stupid head won't let the hands rest, so I have a few projects going and a few more queued up behind these. But, it's all in good fun, and I keep telling the wife that it's a lot cheaper than cars or boats.
The Peugeot fixed gear was finished earlier this year. I've been enjoying it for a while now - so much fun! Here is the thread:
