I was thinking of mounting a modern speedometer to my oldie. Other than that, keen on the pantina.

I'd say it's a Super but perhaps early 90's. All the catalogues online are mid-late 1980's and none of the Super's or Sprint's have internal cable routing for the brake cable in the top tube. A super from the early 1990's perhaps?

It was my understanding the adjuster is historically for trimming the front derailleur, when some of the integrated brifters don't/didn't have that second half click to do it for you... so I have generally thought the left hand side.
Having sad that though, I have seen them on the right for the rear, perhaps rightly or wrongly. Not sure....
PS : loving the Tour?
Way past Fat Cat's bedtime for me... though I might watch one two stages at some point. Have to read up which up the most scenic and/or mountainous. I generally don't watch any sports at the best of times...

Interesting. Looked at the pair I presently run on my Cross-check with bar-cons; the left/FD stop has a regular integral barrel adjuster. The right/RD hand one has a sort of stepped little thumb lever which clicks through about three different degrees of tension. I can't even remember where I picked this pair up from, so have no idea of branding. They may even be Campy Chorus from the gruppo on the first decent roadie I ever had and later re-used componets from.....
I had never honestly given them that much thought.

I got my A23's from the LBS for $100 ea. Ended up being similar to similar online offerings once shipping got factored in.
Made in Aus too

Yeah, thanks guys... time to revise my preferred LBS in such regard. I think I was paying closer to $150ea.. Yowch... was a while ago though..
And now back to your irregularly scheduled Ben thread....

If Ben's are like mine, which they look like from the driveside - yep. The left hand side is a more traditional barrel adjuster. Where what we're looking at in the photo is a sort of sprung ratchet flip thing. Click it up in one direction through ~3 settings, then back down through those settings.
Almost an indexing system in itself?

So.. Campagnolo is off the cards for now. I'm going to get it going with some nice wheels I've found from a forum member (105 hubs, 32 or 36 spoke, Rigida aero rims) and a Shimano groupset.. either 105 or Tiagra. I'll try and spring for 105.
This way, once I finish my degree next year .. I can put the 105 on my fiance's bike (will only need to change the cranks for shorter ones) and upgrade to Campagnolo.

Two of my best and closest friends gave me a call and said they wanted to pop round to my place as they had a present for me. I figured they had some vegetables from their garden (which would've been great) for our garden or something.
Anyway .. to cut a long story short, they rocked up with a giant cardboard box and through the darkness I spotted the ribble logo .. and it was a brand new pair of Campagnolo Khamsian rims! Awesome!
