Thanks guys!
Let me glue those tubs and adjust those brakes and gears and I'll let you know how it rides.

And Jamie - a very Happy New 2016 to you, to Mike Shaun and everyone else here on retrobike who have made the whole
Bike thing a pleasure! Thanks!

Awaiting the classic steel braided Campagnolo record rear mech cable outer!
A US seller has 50 to sell at around £10 inc delivery from US.
Once I get that this'll be finished BUT as soon as I get some time this week I'm going to use some normal cable outer in the meantime and take her for a spin- I'm getting impatient!

I just hope it's not too big

Thanks!

It rides very nicely!
Just finished it today and took it for a spin, and apart from slight adjustments on the rear brake - feels a million dollars!
