Newbie here and my Overbury's (Connoisseur?) renovation.

The rebuild with period parts progressed nicely today.
I've fitted the Suntour Cyclone rear mech, Suntour 14-28 freewheel, wheels are Weinmann concave rims on Campagnolo hubs...

and put an inline adjuster for the rear brake as the bridge is not threaded for one.

Love the colour's and I am suitably impressed with the stiching on the leather wraps. Looking forward to pictures of it fully built and being ridden.
Thanks singlemalt. Hoping to get it finished for next weekend and get out on it then. Just hoping the weather holds ... I'm loathed to get it filthy just yet!
 
Rebuild all but finished and out this morning for a 10 mile shake down ride.
It's a lovely ride especially for a touring bike, very responsive when you up the pace, but still a smooth and comfortable ride.
Everything seems to be adjusted correctly, just waiting on some Jim Blackburn bottle cages to complete it.
