another master

[saarf]

got the shifters

 

[saarf]

should be posting the finished steed in the next day or so

 

[saarf]

My humble apologies, I jumped the gun re. completion,
wheels are being built at lbs, they've taken a f23ki&g age with them, but the wrenches are like friends , so I can't go in screaming about it, pics will be up asap,
apologies again

 

[saarf]

as luck would have it, I came across a Chorus 10 crankset in good condition, so I exchange with the old.
I also made my own self styled, primitive, Campagnolo Chainring Bolt Extraction Tool (as yet un patented) out of an old car wheel bolt, works great

 

[saarf]

finished, the phoenix has risen..

 

[saarf]

i dropped the seat post, saddle and bars and added spds, so if you pardon the indulgence, i'll put some final pics up in a while

 

[saarf]

spds are a sin i admit on a roadie, but the shoe soles are better if you need to walk into the bushes for a call o' nature on a longer ride

I'd prefer to see a Cinelli Stem & 66 de monde bars as they would ad more style than those TTT jobbies which make it look pretty awful upfront along with a different colour of handlebar tape.

 

[saarf]

bit late to change up now, i'm happy, you just can't please all the people all the time

 

[NeilM]

I like that very much.


One of these days I'll get myself a Colnago, but for the moment I'm still in my 'British Steel period'.
