Finally finished a Mavic equipped Eddy Merckx Strada. Just found some lovely NOS Pete Matthews wheels to finish it off. Was previously running it with some more modern wheels and an 11 spd cassette which surprisingly worked really well with the mavic mech and simplex levers. I much prefer these simplex friction levers to the correct indexed mavic levers which i dont love.
Anyway, it rides surprisingly well and the brakes suit the pianni rims which have a black coating on the rim surface? The shimano ax seat pin wont let me level the saddle but not going to worry about it.
Think i will take it to Regents Park for loops later this week and its official outing.
