Thank You!

I think I’ll use this crankset for the build.
Had to clean up a bit, there was 30 years of mud and oil on it..

Still not sure about the brakes, but I’ve a month to decide because the paintjob takes a bit longer than I thought..:/

I have a '90 Pro Comp (see link below) and that's had more makeovers than I care to think about - although I have had it for quite a few years/decades!

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

Yes, more or less My frame/forks will be dark metallic blue (if the paint will ever been finished..)
I'm looking for a stem just like on the picture, but seems it won't be easy.. :/ There was a fully restored neon-yellow coloured A-tac on ebay a few weeks ago, but couldn't manage to get it.. (I already have a 1-1/4 Flexstem, but I'm not sure if I'll like the look of it)
ps: You've got beautiful bikes

You could always use a shim for the stem. There are plenty of people doing that (including myself).

I have a black A-TAC if you're interested.

Finally, the wheels are ready.
Used Matrix Voodoo rims with DT 1.5 spokes and steel nipples.
They almost weight less, than the ritchey tires I’ll fit on them.. (1620g)
Never seen any of my wheels spin as long as these. Also love the sound of the rear hub

Just a few more weeks and it will stand on wheels

That looks like a stiff frameset.

YES YES YES

I gave up finding an affordable solution for now, so I’ll use Ritchey Logic brakes. Not the best looking, but definitely the best feel cantilever brakes (with the paul levers and coolstop pads) I’ve ever had. And it wasn't complicated to set up either.
