1979 Rondinella

[squirrelchaser]

The pedals are Record pista and however much I like them , I can't ride on them for long as my right leg is badly out of whack and the foot is in an horrific position on them . I'll probably end up with some MKS as they seem the best compromise for me on bikes of this age .
The unfinished article !
I used these bars , stem and levers as they came out of the box like this and because the bars are pretty straight and level they gave me a good idea of what the fit was like , THEY WILL NOT BE STAYING ! Exhale .

May have to go up to a 46 inner to get the front mech to work on some of the cogs on the inner ruing..experimentation for later in the year.

I did wonder about that . 22t used to be the max for fronts , not sure if it's got any bigger but doing it in one jump on unramped rings is a pretty tall order .
The Record crunched and ground yesterday doing 16 !
