The build list is coming along nicely.
So tempting with these builds to fit parts as I go along piece by piece, but i'm trying really hard not to go that route with this one. I want to get all the parts sorted before I begin.
Pretty much ready to go....

Rear wheel needs rebuilding onto the Ti-Glide. Then i should be ready to get to work.
First will be re-threading and shortening the steerer as it's a bit long as it stands at the moment.
I've rebuild the forks and given them a thorough clean/polish.

Then there's fitting of the Bottom Bracket. I've seen Vinevo's great tools for fitting the bearings and axle, but trying to justify the cost which double what the frame cost me for something i'll only use once. We'll see.
One thing I will probably swap out is the Thomson post for a Syncros to be more period correct. And possibly the ATAC stem for something a bit shorter as I think the bike maybe a bit too stretched out with this one.
See how we get on with the build.
