Thanks for the compliments.
I've attached a before pic. Sad looking state with chipped paint, worn decals, and.......v brakes urgh...
The fork is a Igleheart with Wright dropouts.
I've made a few practical changes. Unfortunately the 2.25 Schwalbe are just too wide for the frame so i've switched them out for 2.1 Smoke/Dart's.
My wheelset has also been swapped to a beautiful Campy Athena 8 speed which actually works well with the 8 speed Suntour thumbies.
American Classic seat qr was also a nice replacement.
The saddle is a bit of a mystery. It is a 1992 Sella Italia "Leader" and has the standard Flite plastic base but with a solid (maybe 3mm) leather cover which is riveted on. Has anyone seen this saddle before?
