Oh wow, I am very very very happy.
Today had been bloody awful; started with needing 40 minutes to get out of bed as I have put my back right out (including nearly passing out from the pain a couple of times and my wife nearly phoning 999; then the bloody magpies raided the blackbird nest in my back garden and took the three chicks. Me in my crippled state could only look on.
This had arrived at lunchtime but I had been banned from even trying to open it. I have now been permitted ad here it is. The Saracen Kili Ultra Ti that was being discussed at the end of last week. It is simply fabulous. It has been used but very very little, came with a very tidy M900 FD, the very clean and tidy (but understandably goosed elastomers) RC35s and also in a bag of bits the correct Dia Compe headset it would have had when new. Yay!
Build plan is to go as close to factory as I can. I have the specs and although some of it I think will prove impossible, I think I can get very close. I'll be happy with ok bits to start but then I'll be keeping my eye open for better condition stuff. I am though tempted to do a quick build just to have a go.
