We needed long reach brakes so went with Tektro. The Campy 10 speed rear cassette was gently put into the place from the old spot where a 5 speed belonged.
We used the Mavic Aksium wheels that I had on the Serrotta and the OEM Stem and handlebars as they came original in 1973. I used the Tru-Vativ American to Euro bottom bracket conversion and the Campy Crank was used. David Brink at Cyclemania in Portland Maine helped guide the project and do the stuff I didn't want to mess with after I had sourced some of the needed bits. The frame got crunched but the components were saved.įinally this year I bit the bullet and had the Super Sport rebuilt with the Campy Record components. Last year I had a unfortunate accident with my regular ride which was a Serotta Legend Ti (custom) with full Campy Record that I ordered and had built in 2000 by Belmont Wheelworks in The Boston area. My wife gave me a new Brooks saddle in the Honey color. My son surprised me for Christmas of 2015 with the frame all cleaned up and freshly powder coated in a color very close to the original Sunset Orange.
