The final part of my Neo Retro build is up.
I know the purists would tell me to put a campy groupo on it, but there is nothing in the marketplace nearby that's affordable. SRAM is what I already have in my parts stash, and they work just fine.

Just added a '64 Team Issue replica to the stable, to keep the '54 CdM company. Will add some white cotton bar tape after a shake down ride or two.

I ended up accepting with wife/budget by the time I sourced the parts and got it together I had to let it go. Look what I found a few weeks ago. I took it for a shake down ride yesterday, I ended up cutting the chain too short and had to wait on a new one. It was great. Surprisingly the UnicaNitor is comfy and I really like the plastic bar tape. I was really happy. I did my typical run in my typical time. The gearing is from the time when men were men, 54x46 in the front and 14x22 5sp out back. The last part of the ride has a hill about a mile long with the last half mile running a grade of 5-11%. Man that last part I was standing and grinding. I'm keeping the gearing though because everything is original, it's a time capsule.
