Now What?
I did something I never thought I would do. I ventured into Campy.

Score some SR SP-11 or SP-155 pedals. Although, Campagnolo seems right for your Trek... |
Hard to go wrong at that price, for those pedals.
Don't fall down the rabbit hole of vintage Campagnolo............... |
It's a slippery slope, my friend, but I can't argue with the quality for the price.
Dialed-in Campy pedals are as smooth as they come. |
Those are the most durable pedals I have ever known. Crash as often as you like.

Suddenly I feel like I need clip and strap pedals for the Coppi ride...

You'll need to get used to the toe strap loop, they really wedge your foot in there and loop will wear the straps out a lot faster than the non loop version. Those pedals are a great type. |
I've recently stopped using clips and straps, and am riding simple platforms. But time will tell. Thanks for the comments; I am a complete Campy feeb. I bought them on a whim. Like the Trek 930. That proved to be a good whim, so I thought, Why not?
|
Me too!
Bought 2 Raleigh's in the past 6 months with Campy. 70 Professional and a 72 Competition GS. Hope they work ok. Just going to wing it and come here for help!

Everyone should have at least one toe clipped and strapped ride in their collection.

All of mine are still C+V, never made the jump to litespeed. ;)

Time to build a classic Italian bike around your pedals. :)

Open your wallet and let it happen. In other words "Hello, my name is Tullio and I'll be your robber today".;)
|
Look at my location. I'm bringing a complete bike and a frame set in June, After that, we'll see. Quality vintage bikes of any stripe are very rare here.

Simce your original query was “Now what?” I would say Campy NR RD and FD and shifters. You will find that there are no other friction shifting groups that have such a light and satisfying touch to them, despite their legendary durability. |

Suntour Superbe. Done.
(But we’re trying turn Seeds into a vintage Campyphile here, and you’re not helping :p ) Come to think of it, I like the Nuovo Grand Sport stuff as much as the NR. Seeds really needs to try them both. |
Be careful my friends! First off, let me say that until recently, I never thought I’d chase down Campy either. BUT... I bought a bike late last year. It was outfitted with perfectly fine Japanese parts, and it had a flip flop hub installed, set up fixed gear. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5f051541b.jpeg I rode it around the city for a little bit until my left knee started to suffer. So I turned the bike over, set it on a park bench, and proceeded to flip the hub over so I could freewheel. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...df9cbeabd.jpeg Well, with the wheel off, I discovered the bike held a dirty little secret... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...539b7997d.jpeg That dropout set me on a downward spiral! I had to make this bike “right.” And here I am now less than two months later to warn you Campy is nothing to flirt with. Because as you can see... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...36d976907.jpeg I shouldn’t have ever flipped that hub!!! :roflmao: |
