For the decals I will have a look on the website you mentioned / thx!
the brake levers I was also thinking about it altough I love the fact they have the cables running along the steering and not jump out on the top ...
--> extra question, any ideas on good tires? the tubes are still working fine (inflated them and no problems so far) but the tires did have their est time, will replace the tubes also.
tires for just all day use, short trips and sometimes longer trips. Still not really the road guy who goes for 80-150km on the bike...
It's hard to see in the photos but make sure your tires aren't glued to the rims as you could have older style (but fantastic) tubular tires???
Now.....If you don't have tubular tires and already have 700c clincher rims and tires just go to the local bikeshop and ask for assistance to choose your tires and tubes to suit your needs. You will like the low rolling resistance of tires and tubes that will take a higher pressure. The harder the inflated tire the easier it will roll along the road. They will cost a little more so it's good to ask for the bikeshop's best buy.
