I enjoyed looking at these photos. So much eye wash, or as my coworkers used to say, bike porn. The HBs and levers don't look as comfortable as modern noodles and more contemporary levers. I was also surprised by how very short the straddle cables are. I have posted Racers on my tandem, which are clearly modeled after the Mafac and I set them up with much longer cables.
