This is my Umberto Dei Imperiale, but it is an older picture. These tires are now worn out and I have to address some rust issues on the rims. So it is now disassembled in the shop. One disadvantage of the rod brakes is that an out-of-round wheel really shudders under braking. When I go downtown for coffee I have a slight descent on the way back that makes this thing shake and wobble pretty bad.
