Yellow Hobbs winter beater of distinction (WBOD)

[PhillB]

Mock-up build from last night. It now has the Reynolds Hiduminium seatpost that should be on my Parkes and the Unicanitor off my Parkes. Stronglight 49D. I need to unwrap the bars and fit the brake levers which are roughly era-correct Mafacs. I've hung the Huret Jubilee derailleurs in place but I'm still not sure if I'm going to use them long-term.

Lookin' good!

Rear axle re-spaced. You can see I’ve got a nice gap now. The derailleur is right at the far end of its stop though, so I’m hoping it’s going to reach the small cog. I can probably space the derailleur out by 1mm-1.5mm if I need to, but any further than that and the B screw won’t have enough contact with the tang on the dropout.
