Look what the courier has just delivered...
Whilst the cat prefers the box, I am a very happy man, working from home, today.
It is a non-original fork (Ahead set up, which I am happy enough with) and Columbus Brain tubing. From my calliper measurements it seems to be Brain OS (oversize), with a top tube and seat tube measuring around 30mm outside diameter (my Columbus SL frame has closer to 26mm top tube).
Lots of measuring, weighing and a bit of a polish then I will start building it up (and buying more bits...).
for the record, the steel fork, with the crown race fitted, measures a chunky 848gm and the frame with headset, bottle cage bolts, seat binder bolt, through frame cable housing and unknown Campag bb fitted is 2,427gms. I'll have to try to work out what those elements weigh.
Currently thinking of a chrome (curved fork), silver stem and seat post, white bar tape and saddle (If I can find one without spending too much). Any other colour co-ordination suggestions?
I've a Campag 10 speed groupset to go on (mixed) for a retro-mod build that I will actually ride.
More to follow.
