Re:

I've now ordered a pair of veloflex master 25s and mavic ma2s.

Re:

I got the cockpit mock assembled last night.


I think I'm going to build the MA2s up with a pair of novatec hubs which use a very similar shell design to older campag chorus hubs. All polished of course with silver spokes.

Jason Rourke has just instagrammed a couple of teasers. I soooooo can't wait to get it back.

I can pick my frame up from Tuesday, they've just got to chase the threads through with a tap. I'll probably head over to collect it on Saturday.

Got my veloflex' mounted this evening.

That paint job looks lovely. Despite being a 1985 bike I think the paint, rims and cockpit should bring this bike bang up to date. Good work sir.

Still looking forward to seeing the finished article!!

Re:

Looking good, and a bike that will be used, too.

Re:

Thanks guys. There was a bit of miscommunication between rourke and myself, it will be ready this Tuesday so fingers crossed for a build update next weekend.

Don't see the point in building/restoring a bike if your not going to use it.

Re:

Nice work!!
I wonder if you have the RAL number for the blue paint on the frame?
I'm just starting a resto job on an old Gios as well.
