@bikenbruce - Superissimo has chrome lugs. Not long after buying the bike in 2009, I purchased NOS period correct cables/housing from YJ. I don't think they have any left. Do a search.

Converting an old SA three speed into a faux drop bar racer, like why? It made sense and now it makes no sense.

Cutting the derailleur hanger and knocking the cable housing guides off a Reynolds 531 Trek frame. The hanger was re-welded on and I'm soon having the guides rebrazed.

Wherever it's taken, it does look nice now. It's like a flashback to the starting line circa 1982. I had that silly yello cello tape. The only thing sort of out of place is the Brooks. The only people riding Brooks at that time were rich doctors and lawyers, everyone else used Turbos or maybe a concor. But considering the fancy street, everything is just right...
