That's fantastic!! That's going to be a cracking looking bike once built up. What year is it?

Re:
Components fitted to date.
Campagnolo n record rear mech.
Campagnolo front mech.
Campag bar end shifters {The frame was built for these}. still fitting these
Campag chainset , but looking for a TA or Stronglight . smaller rings .
Record h/b stem.
Itm bars .{at the moment}.
Brooks pro saddle.
GB brakes . with new dia compie levers .{still chewing this over} I want good brakes in hilly Derbyshire.
Wheels at this time are 27x1 1/4 Weinmann with Shimano large flange hubs which Iam looking to replace with Mavic Argent rims 700c with Campag Record large flange hubs .{ if I can get the block off the rear hub :facepalm: }
As this frame was built for mudgards I will fit them . Red if i can find some at a sensible price. I have some white bluemels so they may have to do for now.

Re:
That's looking really good. You just don't see that many Giros.
Just a question why the switch away from the Weinmann rims I'm assuming that you're going to 700c it's not any sort of criticism by the way I like the Weinmann rims personally but it does restrict your tyre pressure and 27" does not give you much scope for tyres admittedly.
