My original list was just a starter, there are tons of
others (Frejus, Bianchi, Hobbs, Gios, Colnago, etc.).
I agree with Froze about components and lets add
Simplex while we're at it, Huret anyone?
My experience is that builders like Sachs and
Rivendell have a good supply of NOS friction shifting
gear, and well, the new ergo/sti isn't all that bad.
(see Sachs' headtube lug with headson ).
