Photos of East Hill's bikes

[DebW]

I did just realize that the reason I don't think the original owner had DT shifters was because she had a Zefal HP pump installed on the DT (the Zefal pump NIB was the first thing I saw there on e-bay). You can see the chrome fitting on the photo.

The Zefal came in only one length and was probably too long for the seat tube of that bike. The pump wouldn't preclude downtube shifters but might have forced them to an awkward spot on the tube that missed the brazed-on stop.

I was surprised at how light the rims were. I have never had the opportunity to hold a racing rim before. When I first was unwrapping the front rim I threw it up in the air a couple of inches just to see how light it was and almost hit the roof of the garage because I didn't expect it to be THAT light.

The Fiammi Yellow is definitely a racing rim. Most racers had a set of Red label rims for training and Yellow label rims for racing. It's odd that you have a mix, but better the yellow is on the front. How smooths are those Campy Record hubs? Note that Record hubs generally take 7/32 balls front and back, not the more usual 3/16 front and 1/4 inch rear. You can still get replacement cones for those hubs.

Can you tell I'm learning a lot of new stuff with this bike?

Sounds like you're having fun.

What kind of headset came on the Nishiki Pro?
