Howdy
An old, but new to me Roadeo. The bike migrated from here to the east coast and returned home after a 2+ year stay in Massachusetts. Shod with Gravel King SK 35s, actual width on the Pacenti rims is 37 mm wide. Probably room for 40s too. A TA triple crank moves the chain, Campy Athena FD, DA RD, Gran Comp brakes (yokozuna pads) and Riv Silver Shifters V2. Jagwire cable housings match pretty dang well with the blue frame accents.  

I like the shape and size of the V2 shifters. Accurate shifts and results with no looking at the drive train. Thank you folks for recommending the V2 shifters, they work great and look good too.
 
And its a great riding bike!

I do like the looks of those Roadeos...nice accents with the Jagwire and blue chainring bolts.
 

Who makes the black hubs? Suntour superbe or Shimano dura-ace?

The hubs are Pacenti branded too, not just the rims. The hubs look like Bitex, but are more loud than the Bitex wheelset I pieced together for my Black Mt Monstercross.

Current Pacenti hubs are Bitex. I would say thats likely what they are.  They are a bit loud but are great light weight hubs.
