To all of you that responded regarding my questions about Ergo - THANKS!!!
I've successfully deployed a low cost hybrid solution. My retrogrouch boyfriend is now making the sign of the cross at my Waterford at every opportunity. At least he has now stopped trying to take over working on it <g>. Forward, Shimanolo Dur-Us!
OK, now my wheel question.
My first future classical British bike joined the household this week in frame form - a 1968 Claude Butler Torino. Its getting built up pretty much Euro Touring, I'll be using my first generation 144 BCD stock Campy triple. I'm thinking about wheels these days and I'm told that I have to use 27 inch in that frame. Thats ok, if so, but what kind of rims am I looking for to be generally period correct? I'm using high flange Campagnolo hubs. I'd like to find some Mafac centerpulls for it (unless one of you has a cooler, low cost suggestion) and I'm not sure if the brake reach for those brakes ultimately limits me to 27". I'm also trying to use as many parts as I already possess for this bike project!
Oh - and do any of you over on the other side of the ocean live close enough to Lloyds of London to interface with Nick for me regarding the transfers for my bike? I'm told that Email is not a reliable way to communicate with them, and if someone was going over there anyway - well I'd like to work something out. I'm told there are more then one color of transfers for that bike, and I'd like to know what my options are and whats available.
