A few minor changes to the old Dilecta in recent months. The water bottle cage was moved to the down tube and I found a new frame pump that fit perfectly. The new B17 Narrow is moving to another bike and has been replaced with a broken in older B17 Narrow donated by a friend. I ended up adding Cane Creek hoods to the Mafac levers and re-taping the bars. Purchased new Shimano SPD M324 pedals (third set) which work well and help retain the vintage look. The ride is comfortable and feels perky? (is that a thing?). Definitely it has earned a spot in the stable.
