Had this frame around for a long time, and the parts too, and finally got around to doing something with the lot of them.
The frame came with an unknown and rather plain threadless fork that was too long for the bike and a mishmash of parts so I did the right thing and took it all apart, sold the lot. That was uh, maybe 2 years ago and so it's sat since then.
I ordered the fork about the same time as I sold the old one, it's an Orlowski with the same crown as the correct fork.
The wheels I laced about 2 years ago too, got bored, and finally tensioned a few months back (I also have another set of wheels in the process of being built for about 3 years now!).
I got tired of seeing it sat there so built it up a few weeks ago with an athena group. I almost restarted with a Record 10 speed group but realised I would likely get stuck in an endless loop changing between the two and never actually ride it.
Finally spent the last few weeks procrastinating on the bar tape but got a grip and did it over lunch today.
