when we had our seattle c&v ride last year, i took my '73 falcon san remo with its modern brakeset.



it was the first bike i ever rebuilt, and i was into aero levers at the time. by the time of this group ride, i had reverted back to appreciating and favoring period-correct non-aero levers. i sort of apologized for the aeros. but i got nothing but compliments on the bike. everyone was really nice.

my '76 grand record was the second bike i ever built, and it has the same brakeset. i've since found two sets on campy non-aeros and am in the process of converting both bikes back to non-aero. it's an expensive project with new fizik tape as well, but it will be worth it to me.
