As soon as the Christmas rush is over Richard, I'll be sending off the 'awful' Rossin stem to be re-anodised and painted back in....'lovely jubbly'TGR":2s1v3tei said:
Took it steady with building the bike but I would say its not taken me any longer than four months to complete,
this included me fully stripping the paint off myself and respraying it, sourcing a full Shimano 105 groupset
from a guy in France then finding a suitable cassette/chain/bars/headset/tyres/tubes/bottom bracket to get it running.
Total cost to build the bike: £250, no such labour charge as I fully built the thing ground up.

Old British motorcycle owners trick, thoroughly cover the chrome in a light coat of Vaseline.
I used to have to do this to both chrome and alloy or face the ravages of the winter when commuting to work on my 68 Bonnie.
As for hacks, I'm not posh enough to have seasonal hacks, my poor Raleigh 853 gets ridden all year round.
