Delta brakes fitted with new cables and bar tape. I now remember how tricky they were to fit from years ago. Still they look superb and are NOS so unmarked. I wish Campagnolo would bring a new model out in the same design. I'm chuffed to bits..

Well, been out several times with the Delta brakes and can honestly say they are just as I remembered, great feel and power but have to be used differently to my dual pivot record calipers. The stopping power increases as more force is applied so initial feel is strange until your head gets in tune with the brake. As my bike is constantly updated just as the great man did with his bikes in the 80's I'm going to change the wheels. Mavic are so poor with support I'm going to change to Campagnolo. Watch this space..
After 22 years as my only bike,my Lemond is about to be joined by 2 new bikes. The first next week is my first winter bike. A Bianchi Nirone, it's a lovely looking bike for £1000 and once fitted with lights will see me through the winter. The second is taking a bit longer,I've been buying components over the past year and once finished will be a tour spec carbon bike which hopefully last as long as the Lemond. Still going to keep it tip top condition as it really is part of the family.
