A true treasure.. |
Being the standard nowadays, black parts were still not that common in the nineties. NOS from that era is presently still available, but not in great abundance and very expensive. With Tecnos 2, I was lucky to find the Veloce groupset almost immediately, meaning I never really had to search deep for the drivetrain and shifters etc., and so I expected things would not be that easy. But thanks to one person in particular, also this time the quest was remarkably short. That person is Mr. Mario Verhoeven, a real Bike Doctor. Mario is running the webshop: https://defietsenmaker.nl/ An absolute treasure cove for NOS retro bike parts. In The Netherlands even. Lucky me again. Mario turned out to have available in his shop: A complete Campa Centaur carbon crankset (Power Torque), plus front & rear derailleurs Campa Chorus mixed steel / carbon, all from the nineties & all NOS. The front derailleur even with a cam, instead of the ealier version with clamp. The Chorus seatpost I took back from Tecnos 1 and the also brand new Record shifters came from the Dutch Marketplace, not in the retail box as originating from a bulk assembly line packing. The Ergopower cableset, Power Torque cups, Record chain and Veloce cassette are of course still well available new. So this time Campa only for all the mechanics.
