It's amazing how wrong you all are about the polished silver rims.

I hate the look of silver brake tracks on black rims.
Only LAJ actually gets it:

FWIW I really like the Soma Highway One bars, they're a modern compact shape but are available in 26.0mm and polished silver. Can be a bit of a bear to get a quill stem without a removable faceplate...

This is what I wish my chrome Super le Tour could be, but I hate that it has no braze-ons and a modern build plus clamp-on bottle cages & cable stops just doesn't work for me at all.

How on earth did two different people have Colnagos fitted with the same tires installed with the labels misaligned in the exact same way? Tires are mounted backwards on the steel one though :foo:

I'm with you on the bottle cages TBH. I go back and forth between liking how they aren't super prominent and thinking that they need to be a different color so they don't just disappear...

Ah that's good to know, any modifications necessary for that or do the modern stops just go right on?
