Cheers mate; needs must but hopefully I can start again with beacons (on here) shifters that I've got that will sprout into a groupset when work etc picks up. Look forward to the build pictures.
Dis gon be good. I really want to build something with a similar groupset. For wheels, I reckon you should go for some Reynold Assault from a few years back.
A great deal popped up courtesy of @Pasty_Spumante so I got a mini-group of Chorus Gen 1 bits coming in for the Gios.
