Re:

That is the original stem! Not easy to find one of those.

The seatpost on mine is 27.0mm.

Coming along nicely....

Re: another bloomin british steel project-overburys pioneer

small update, gave it its first coat this evening, took some pics then later on another coat. its getting shinier every coat so fingers crossed its really shiney after a few more coats.

pics are poo but i hope you get the idea






wheels are nealry sorted as well, british hubs and french rims, although theyre both mavic 217 rims theyre from different years so the decals differ. ill get some simple ones made up so they match and clean the old amberwalls hanging in the workshop
