I'm not sure about the bar tape though.....It's 'Eleganza'.

Feels lovely, but Im not sure of the look.......I also have a Honey Brooks Pro, some brown hoods and I want some Honey Bar tape.....I think it will look better?

Whatever though, I took it out for it's first ride of 2011 today and I have fallen in love all over again! 75 miles and not a single ache or pain...........
 
Personally I like the tape and hoods, not a massive fan of the saddle or colour coded rims.

Other than that, an absolutely stunning bike. I see these frames as works of art, they are a pleasure to look at.
 
A few people have said the same about the rims............I do like them though!

I won't change them as they are original to the bike from the first owner....he had 2 sets, one for everyday use and these which were his 'Sunday best'.....The swallow is very comfy!
 
You are spot on with the cables.....it had some narrow drops on before and I replaced with these NOS GB Middlemore Randonneur bars.......It will be getting longer ones when I decide what colour to go with......
I might be going Brooks Honey....

And all those gears are Campag super record 1st gen......They'll do for me!!

;)
 
:LOL:

My brick might not be period, but it has some nice original features and patina!!

This is my dream bike and I never thought I'd have a chance of owning one.......The added bonus of it fitting like a glove is obviously good!!
