Magic - that looks tremendous, very much worth the wait. Very neat bar wrapping as well, best i've seen in quite a while!!

Thank you, that's very kind. Pleased with wrap. It took a while to get right, especially around the brake hoods.

The Benotto type goes back in the box then!

Looks like a true throwback to the late 80's, cracking stuff indeed.

Patience is a virtue as they say - exemplified in your bar wrapping!

I'm still traumatised by benotto - 6 goes (and that's each side) :facepalm:

This looks fantastic Mike top work and a cracking build.

I wanted Cinelli on this Bike. Or Mavic ( branded Cinelli? ). Already have ITM on three other bikes now, so fancied something from my earlier riding times
