Put a pic up of the skewer nuts front and rear, I may have one that matches one or the other

Thanks for the thought Matt, but on detailed inspection the QR side isn't identical either - it's a lovely enough piece, but it's not the right one My quest continues...

Having had a little play with the Synchro levers, I can see why they were swapped out for the simpler friction levers. The levers look the part (except for the big boss on the right hand side) but they thunk home like something agricultural. I haven't cabled them up, simply put them on the frame.

Hmm, I learned on Thursday evening that it might actually be cancelled but I need to contact the organiser myself to make sure. It'll be dissappointing if it is as he only took over the show last year from the previous organiser. However, it may be problems with the hire of the hall or anything so no prejudgments will be made as to the reason.

Just heard from Mark, the Classic Show is cancelled but the jumbles are still going ahead.

So I was right after all!

I've reached a point in the restoration, where I'm going to have a pause. I've read all the articles of people who've resprayed their bike, and then dare not use them.

Mechanically we'll soon be back to 1989 condition. As you can see from the pics, the white hoods and levers are fitted, to the Cinelli bars and stem. Soon I'll be getting the brakes and mechs cabled using the NOS pearl outers, and re-taping the bars in Benotto Yellow

The bit I'm looking forward to most though, is riding it again!

As always your comments, insights and suggestions are invited....

Levers!

I wonder if any of you eagle-eyed chaps can tell me which generations of C Record these levers are ?

The one on the left is the original one from the 'nana', which has the adjuster and the built in ledge to allow you to run concealed cables. It's been "oven prided" sanded and "Autosol"-ed.

The one on the right is one of the pair that I bought in the US for the white hoods - it's not been dipped or strpped, and is as purchased. It appears to be from a generation before, no adjustment, and has the simple push in plate for the concealed cables. They're exactly the same dimensions, although the one with the adjuster "looks" slimmer.

Once the build is complete I'll sell on the right hand one in the black hoods, but I'll hang fire in case I need to 'borrow' a part or two!
