Yes, but I'm not cold setting the frame. I took out the wide spacer on the NDS, and had 4mm taken off it at work. I might have to play around with the chain line, or even sacrifice the use of the smallest sprocket, but it fitsAndyMart":e6tvp98r said:
Thanks, it is, but not quite as perfect as it might seem. The masking around the seat tube lug could have been better, and I have to say - the decals made a whole world of difference to a plain white frame. I think the prep work put in to it has paid off though, blasted to bare metal and rubbed down between every coat of primer and paintWay2many":e6tvp98r said:

Does reducing the spacer work, isn't the wheel now offset to the left?

Very interested in any progress because I want to run 10 speed on my 753 frameset but very few people seem to have done it.
I think I've done it on my 531Pro frameset because 531Pro is supposed to be 753 rear stays but I just persuaded the wider wheel into the smaller gap.
Looks superb by the way.

Andy64 did you use a pearlescent white?
Bedraggled, dont you go snapping the dropouts on the orange beastie, I'll never forgive you

Re:
Been a slow week (or two). Finally managed to get the lacquer on and started rebuilding it yesterday.
Annoyingly, progress has stalled. I forgot I needed a braze on FD, and I need a BB wrench for Hollowtech 2.
I can get round the BB problem using a car oil filter chain wrench, and something to protect the BB. The FD will have to be ordered
So, I now have the following fitted.
Headset bearings, forks, stem adapter, bars, shifters, brake cables and calipers, gear cables - as far as the downtube, BB and rear derailleur.
Need to do:
Bar tape, front derailleur, crank set, finish gear cables, wheels and saddle
Bedraggled: Haven't been able to fit the wheels to check the chain line as yet. It fits the frame perfectly, but I need everything else in place to see what tweaking needs doing
omegastrada: It's not pearlescent, more a creamy off white colour
