This is an iron bar/clamp molded, shaped and painted to look like a human hand and arm. Too heavy for humans!



The Super Record rear wheel fits PERFECTLY, like it was made for the bike. Except that it wasn't, never was, and never would be.


We were cleaning the house today, so all the bike project stuff got its own box:






How legit is that. Even the plastic bag that has the cable is marked 'Campagnolo'. Feeling proud!


Also, it will soon be time to start making some adapters, so I needed to take some measurements, so got the SR rear caliper to see the difference -









It's about an inch-ish off. Just enough to make an adapter that will allow the post to clear the current bridge. We should be in business.

I told the Le Grande what I was doing, but the bike refused to believe that it was Super Record.

"Those are just Dia Compes! DON'T LIE TO ME!!!"



We are still working through previous traumas and processing things over here.
