Trial fitting some bits.
Decided on a Cinelli XA stem, for now. Brian Smith's race number from the 94 Tour of Britain, some Ambrosio rims and Dura Ace bits.

dont mean to be dull, but why Argos? Do they produce decals?

Almost the industry standard over here. Expensive but understand classic bicycles. A lot of people source their decals from H Lloyd.

That is beautiful. I love Dura Ace.

Only things left to do are the brake and gear adjustments, then adjust the bars and seat.
Let's hope it doesn't rain tomorrow

Really great! The finish looks excellent, lovely build too.

Beautiful. From a time when bikes were objects of desire, rather than a lump of black carbon fibre as today.
