JB Darrigade Wooden rim, hailing from France and in production during the 1970s (yet still new & unused after all this time!). Made from wood and weighing in at 320 grams - incredibly lightweight for a rim at that time. A fine choice for keeping your vintage bike authentic, but also great for any other compatible bike too.
If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this is fully compliant - so rest assured, the pre-1987 police won't lock you up for having the wrong rim!
OVERVIEW
*New old stock items may have marks from storage over the years, and as we often have multiples they can vary from piece to piece, but they are always genuine new & unused items.

OVERVIEW
TECHNICAL INFO
Fixing Type - if you have small mounts on either side of the frame’s down tube you need braze-on shifters, if there are no mounts you’ll need clamp-on (sometimes referred to as band-on). Some 'aero' frames have mounts fixed to the top of the down tube, for these frames you require top mount shifters for the correct boss type (see below).
Shift Type - friction shifters don't click into gear when you change, when they do click it's referred to as indexed shifting. For this to work correctly you must use the same system as your rear derailleur, if you're using friction levers you can mix and match. You don't need to worry about the front derailleur as left downtube shifters aren't indexed.
Speed - the number of cogs at the back the right shifter is designed to be used with. This is important with indexed shifting but with friction shifters you can in theory run any shifters with any speed setup, although the right lever will need to be pulled back further to shift into the larger cogs.
Shifter Boss Type - the shape of the mount (for braze-on fixings only). Campagnolo / ISO is standard and easily identified by the flat sections on either side, usually combined with a square base for the backing stop plates to fit. There are also Shimano ones with a keyhole shaped base and much less common French ones that are round with no flat sections.
Boss Thread Size - M5 (5 mm) is standard for Campagnolo / ISO bosses, but Shimano bosses will often have M4.5 (4.5 mm) threads and the French bosses would likely have 5 x 1 mm threads.

Dia-Compe Versa Control 900 cantilever brakes, hailing from Japan and in production during the 1990s (yet still new & unused after all this time!).

TECHNICAL INFO
Profile Type - this refers to the angle between the cantilever arms and brake pads. Wide profile cantis have the greatest angle of well over 90 degrees, medium profile sit at around 90 degrees and low profile have a very narrow angle of under 90 degrees meaning they sit closer to the frame.
Post Distance (ctc) - older cantilevers were designed for frames with mounting posts around 55 - 65 mm apart (measured from the centre of one to the other), at some point after the 1980s the posts were positioned further apart (between 77 - 85 mm). The later, wider variety cannot be used on older bikes with the narrow post distance, so we’ve categories these into ‘wide’ and ‘narrow’ to determine which cantilevers will fit your bike.
