Well, I didn't use the bar-end shifters yet, but I did put the wheels and tires from the Takara onto my Peugeot PX-10. The original wheels with the Campagnolo hubs are long gone from the Peugeot, so originality is not the goal. The Peugeot is my commuter.

Apparently, though the previous owner of the Takara was a biking man who took good care of his machine. The wheels were as true as any I have ever seen - unusual for wheels off of a thrift shop bike.

One of the treasures from this $10.00 purchase was the sweet Continental tires in near new condition. They must be a newer model because they take 120 psi. I will have to check the model and get your feedback.

Anyway, a good purchase to be sure. The parts are getting use.
