Well, my daily riders don’t really qualify as heroic by any means, as I’ve become attached to the modern cockpit with a wider stance and comfortable hand positions. Likewise the drivetrain and pedals are geared for enticing me to more and longer rides. I’ve always preferred Suntour for shifting and like down tube and bar end shifters as well or more than brake levers that move sideways. That said, I’m not parting with the heroic bits I’ll need to restore these steel beauties to bonafide C&V riders should I get the bug.
