Inside the 4 pivot brakes, these brakes where so far ahead of the time, and imo the best brakes ever made.

They are getting rarer and expensive.

Amber Walls i do have just dont use, as for the white hoods Campag never made white hoods for the early ergo levers and the ergo levers only ever came with black cables.
I do have a white Concor Rolls, bur as it is over 20 years old it is a bit to hard to do ant decent mileage on.

Luvly.
Don't retire this bike, far too nice. It's always nice to see great bikes like these out on the roads(especially if the rider can stuff others riding modern exotica)

Totally agree. It's a stunning machine. That chrome is superb. I'm under 30 and this sort of bike looks miles better that the more up to date bikes. Much more stylish than the rolling advertising boards that pass for bikes and frames these days. Only thing I'd change is to get black or gum wall tyres - but that's personal preference.
I am only retiring as i am clocking up the mileage on it atm, and retro parts are getting harder to find and when you do find them the are silly money.
I do have another set of wheels Campagnolo OMEGA V on C-Record hubs with Michellin Hi Liite HD Comp 20mm. Which are all new old stock never ridden on

Yep thats where i bought it from,it was built up by Norman, i think thta was his name.
If i remember right i think the frame was £500.00 and complete nuild was just over £1000.00.
Which may not seem a lot by todays prices bought that was back in 1990.

All you need to do is to update the crank a little bit, that one on there is low spec no?
Also, see if you can find levers with the alu upshift lever as opposed to the plastic.
Both are just nice to haves tho and don't take away from the beauty of the rig.
Where do you get your chains and freewheels from?
Frame is an original from 1990. I have the original C Record crank and Levers, the pictures show how it is set for riding.
As the price of old C Record bits has gone through the roof. I would rather use lower spec bits for everday.
One day it will be rebuilt with the full C Record Group and amber wall tyres.
