I keep wondering if I could get my Pedersen in compliance, would have to jettison the shifters, grips, rear derailer, inner chainring and possibly the handlebar and mtb brake levers.
At least the Weinmann 750 calipers are ok.
I'm not sure what sort of shifters could then be made to work, since DT shifters don't apply, can't be mounted. Campagnolo or Suntour bar-end shifters might cut it and allow me to shift.
Will a cassette wheelset be a problem?
This could be a lot of work, and would necessitate some practice and adjustments/tuning to get right.
I still haven't found suitable shoes for my wide feet, and I'm really not in for any needless suffering in that area.
And would the inspectors acknowledge a Pedersen as a road-racing bike without documented proof?
Did someone mention they were going to ride a 2016 Bianchi? Pictures?
