I am a firm believer that newer components and even newer bikes perform better than any of my vintage steeds or stuff. There is, however, one thing that has not improved, in my mind...
Handlebar end caps! Perhaps is it just me and probably because I never buy pricey handlebar tape. Those little plastic push in caps are about a useless as the tits on a bull. I learned, long ago, to opt for the Velox caps...
.I even installed a set on my 2000 Marinoni Piuma...
