Gentle readers, My brother has confessed. The original shift levers on the olde Colnago were replaced with the ones in the photos as one of the originals is bent. He is searching for them as I write. I will straighten the bent lever and use it upon reassembly after the Joe Bell magic has occurred. I have found several proper front mechanicals in my stash. The least used will installed. Yon experts win this one but vigilance is the cost of correctness. My thanks to all involved including Charles, even if a little strident. Cheers, Mike Blechman, Berkeley, Ca.
