Re:

Bit of an update, just waiting for one decal (the TT one I artworked) and then I can clearcoat the frame and start to build it all back up.
Did all the lining with an old fashioned lining pen which was no fun at all and the results are a bit shit tbh. Probably need to practice for 10000 hours and then knock it out.
Anyway, everything else isn’t too bad. Now need to think about mechs and cables and shit.
Anyway, given my shite skills and taste it’s still a Holdsworth ha ha and I love it : )

Re:

Aw, cheers!
Not that I can really take the credit there, as it started life pretty much like this lol

Re:

And lovely parts galore for fitting now the paint has cured... Campag Nuovo Record f&r mechs, d/t cable guide and shifters, SR (I think) seatpost, ITM stem. Put the tubs on and they look ok, need to sort out braking and bars. Getting there.
Need some bars that fit that stem thou, seems to be narrower that usual.

Coming together very well indeed

Ta.
Need 25mm Dia bars, off to the wanted section.

Stronglight bb in means more progress. Brakes next, few more bits, might even be ready for some late summer rides without guards...

Re:

...and, done.
99%. Need some nicer bar end plugs.
Really makes me smile, so quiet. Everything plays nicely together.
Except Weinmann. Brake calipers are f*cking hilariously useless. Might look at some centre-pulls instead before death.
Can’t seem to get along with the pedals. Feet always seem to be in the wrong place. Maybe just become too lazy with spds?
