Today's Bike: Mr. Bean's Bianchi

A reader known only as "2012mrbeans" sent this photo of a Bianchi with a very interesting drivetrain--apparently, late-model 10-speed Ergo levers attached to Nuovo Record front and rear derailleurs.


We're going to check with Mr. Bean and see how well this mismatched system works.

Update: A sharp-eyed reader pointed out that the Ergo levers aren't connected to the derailleurs. Look closely, and you can see that the original downtube shifters are still there.

    I'd fall over if that shifted nice with no modification.

    Still, I know one old bloke shifting a Superbe Tech with New Success Ergos and it seems to run sweet...

    The Ergolevers clearly aren't connected up to the derailleurs - the down-tube shifters are clearly visible.

    I want to finish the resto mod conversion but not in a rush...the chorus carbon levers work great with the stock brakes though....
