Andre Reboul Superator is coming up nicely. Today I decided not to put the front reflector on the stem, after all, I think keeping just the spacers will give it a cleaner look. Haven't had time to do much, really, just put the new wheels on to check the clearances. The front derailleur should be OK, but it looks like it's the first frame where I could use brakes with shorter reach. I'm planning to use standard Weinmann Carrera brakes with it (when they arrive) and I will be able to use them for sure, but the pads might be sitting at the very top of the adjustment range. Well, that's a bridge I don't have to cross righ now. I left the frame be until I have the seatpost and stem ready and got on with the rear derailleur. It looks like it was overhauled not too long ago, but I'll give it a clean anyway. Mostly to know how it works, but it's also going to get some proper sparkle it deserves.
