Are SS spokes correct? They look wrong to me, as my early bevels have the same Borrani's but all with painted mild steel spokes. Less brittle than SS was the reasoning for that decision.
True, original Alpina spokes are grey painted steel spokes, not stainless steel. This is an older restoration back when we used ss spokes but we now use the steel spokes.
I owned one for 40 years, best bike I ever owned.
Why did you sell it?
Mine was a 74, single disc, not many in Australia. Got it for $1400 but it was the seventies, still had the crankcase seal.
Mine only had a single front disc brake
