Colnago Master Olympic build

Ok, first thing I bolted on was the brakes. I couldn't resist. It still surprises me how big these Delta Brakes are. About as aerodynamic as a big piece of cheese...

mysteriously they also use a 3.5mm Allen key to secure the brake cable. I have one on the way in the post ( also used on Lambrettas apparently).

Those are the Croce D Aune deltas, they are larger (and heavier) than the Record deltas, they have a fixed position on the bike whereas the Records allow you to adjust the entire brake to sit to within a fag paper's width above the tyre.

Still..the pivot arrangement indicates this is one of the later enhanced variants with superior lighter feel and those C Records one of the nicest looking cranks going.

Whatever...looks to be a great build you have. A word of warning though - sort out the moss between the brickwork before ol Knob picks up on it :roll: :lol:
 
Many thanks for the detail info on the brakes, I hadn't realised there was different version Croce d aune deltas so a bit of luck for me there!

As for the moss.... I have no excuses :D
