The project has been on hold for a bit as I searched for a few parts. The plastic cam in both brake caliper quick release levers broke during disassembly and, since Eroica California was just a week away, I hoped to find spares at their swap meet. Well, I only found one, so I’ve since ordered a decent set of Modolo calipers as donors. While I wait for delivery, I thought I’d proceed with the shifters.

These are NOS Mavic 820 shifters that have spent 30 years in the plastic bag. The factory grease might still be good, but why chance it. They got a full disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly with fresh grease. I think they look great!
