Holdsworth Mistral build

Thanks!
I am, indeed, proud of it!
And actually managed to find an in much better condition Golden Arrow wheelset!
Picked it up yesterday. The hubs are complete with the oil cups, no cracks in the dust cup and complete of skewers! Yuhu!
Will put them on probably tonight, then I'll have to properly tighten up the headset as it came loose a few days ago (maybe I'll let a shop do it along with a bit of truing.)
Last thing I'll try to do, after summer, is to look for a way to fix the BB threads and put the Golden Arrow BB in it

Very few changes, got a Brooks B17 saddle as I found the Rolls surprisingly uncomfortable (on the contrary, the white Ergo Rolls is very comfy, even if they look the same.)
Also managed to find Golden Arrow wheelset with all the bits and in great conditions, so the old ones are now spares in case of issues.
I also managed to clean the brake hoods, but haven't taken a full picture of the bike with them, but on my flickr album you can see the before and after: https://www.flickr.com/photos/anidel/se ... 692675805/
