Just caught up to this - great work and what a lovely result. The rear mech caught my eye - have you modded cage and jockey wheels?

Hello Doctor-Bond, nice to meet you.
The rear mech is a Dura-Ace 7703 mid cage 9 speed shifting a D-A 7900 10 speed cassette with D-A 7900 bar end shifters. The rest of the kit is 7703 and works very well together.
The the 7703 rear mech was unusual as it has 14 tooth jockey wheels, I replaced these with 14 tooth Jrc ceramic bearing jockey wheels as the originals were a bit tired.

Have A Wonderful Tuesday: Mike

Hi Highlandsflyer.
You caught me using a old photo from earlier in the build ...
I have been busy though, I'm putting the build kit for the Stratos Keirin roadster together. Thanks for your input on the paint and I agree with you, so its final finish is black primer with lipstick red bar tape (it was on sale), so now it needs a new name.

My inspiration for the Stratos build...
