uk gearmuncher 12,230 Posted April 25, 2013 Love it. The brake levers are the only thing which look clunky on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nob 12,630 Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks Guys. Yes - may have to look into the brake levers at some point need some really skinny bar end levers that are metal so can be polished to be in tune with the originals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nob is correct in that the Modolo Kronos/Orion type levers wouldn't 'sit' on these bars correctly,they need the radius of the old Cinelli road bars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Tester 2,020 Posted April 25, 2013 Nob is correct in that the Modolo Kronos/Orion type levers wouldn't 'sit' on these bars correctly,they need the radius of the old Cinelli road bars Fair point but the bar ends look awfully like standard width to the alloy bars of old. Looks like several hours with a file and emery cloth will be required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nob 12,630 Posted April 25, 2013 May get some of these to modify with some heat, beed blasting & buffing involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mastered1973 4 Posted August 6, 2013 Only just found this thread. Going to my first tt's in the late 80's and seeing this bike and Andy Pegg on a mike burrows concoction really fuelled my love for the sport. What an amazing machine and very inspirational. Love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisH 141 Posted September 25, 2019 Very nice Nob....I am impressed with the fit of the KCNC brake levers to the diameter of the bars. Invariably others seem to be made with a casting diameter much bigger than the bars, I have spent hours turning of filing the castings down to remove a horrible step in section.
