Had this frame made by Shand Cycles for my 40th present. With a bit of lurking/advice off here and other forums I collected the rest of the build myself...
Pista chainset 48t
White Industries 19t freewheel
Phil Wood Bottom Bracket
Phil Wood hubs on H Plus Son TB14 rims
Campag Record calipers
Unindentified ebay Campag Levers
Ritchey finishing kit
Brooks B17/Tape and large Challenge bag
Few observations - Brooks tape is dear for the amount of tape you actually get and unsuited to my large hands, I'm cramping up after 20mins. As for the gearing I chose 49x19 to allow me to negotiate Edinburgh's many hills but it's a wee bit spinny on the flat, this might need to change. Not happy with the brake cables. Anyway, this when my treasure is destroyed by people I've never met...
PS - anyone got any suggestions for pedals? Got mtb spuds on there temporarily...
