Love the pencil thin seatstays. The double cable guides on the downtube are a nice touch too.

Nice job

Err, can I 'ave it back? :roll:

That is a beaut and condition wise looks pretty spanky - I'd like to see the lug lining when you're done

Its on a weight loss program at the minute.

ordered up some cheap bling:

Gold anno spacers to lighten the rear axle

gold anno chainring bolts

NOS Nitto stem

gold anno nipples for the wheels.

I think I can drop a few grams here & there without losing the mudguards/ rack. If the BB moves, I can fit a slightly narrower axle. I also have a slightly battered M730 XT chainset.

Gold is for gypsies :shock:

So, that lovely bike wot you nagged off me, you're turning it into a chav's ride? :cry:

 

[legrandefromage]

tastefully, it lightens and chavs all in one...
