Not bad, my butt. That is stupendous. Lots of clear coats? Polishing?

Unfortunately, the pedals I sent have the proprietary inline mounting clips. Clips are finicky little guys.

SP-11s were the perfect solution. Platform base with regular clip mounts.

I’m in the two thin spacer group. On top and below one each. They will blend in the shadows. 1mm each.

If you ever need to replace the Campy headset, you might need the two mm in stack height.

As far as the rear drops pinching a bit, I spread them to 128 and then realigned them....I believe, so that both 126 and 130 spaced hubs could be used.
