With the advent of warm weather I've been working to thin my herd of flippers, rather than build up bikes for myself. However I find it ironic that I am replacing a set of Dura Ace side pulls and levers on my 1974 International and using a set of Weinmann's probably sourced from a destined for scrap early 1970's Schwinn Continental.
I think the Crescent in my waiting to be bar wrapped queue actually has Mafac Racers.
