Several people have mentioned rims, seatposts and cranks. I actually have a couple Saavedra headsets that are really nice. They crop up on ebay now and then, and generally low-priced. It is very similar to the Stronglight Delta headset with roller bearings. Nicely finished lightweight aluminum "shell" with removeable/replaceable steel bearing races -- and the internal parts are interchangeable with the Stronglight ones. I don't know -- maybe another case where it is a re-branding of the same headset?

Hi,

I recently bought an early 70s Saavedra track frame from Mike Fraysse. Apparently it was hanging in the shop only primed so he had it painted and ended up with me.

It's sweet, but I'm curious to know what kind of set up would be period correct for this bike. Saavedra wheels? Good luck there I guess.

The only thing I had close was my early 70s Campy 26.4 seatpost. Other than that I put what I had available on so I can ride it for now.

Any ideas?
