Nice work, I know all about those old dia-compes... They don't have the greatest braking power either. When I first came across them I thought they were aesthetically pleasing and wanted to put them on my international, I never got around to it and I was lucky enough to score a set of NGC 982s that some moron kid took off a beautiful allegro touring bike which he turned into a fixed gear, to make matters worse it was a 52cm bike and he was about 6 feet tall...

Anyway, I am soon replacing the set on my girlfriend's international with old Deore Cantis because her braking power could use a boost and when you are descending with 50lbs of gear... Not to mention better brakes mean less effort and your hands don't get sore from breaking if you're on the bike all day... okay back on track....

What's the sekine part? the pedals? What are your touring plans this summer? Mine are modest... Maybe go up the east side of vancouver island and some small bike camping trips (one day to camp site type dealies)
