Hello guys, long time no see ! Concerning this build, I will have to put it on hold because I had to store the frame at a relative's place since I moved out.
Still, I've made some minor progress by first acquiring the specific down-tube part to hold gear levers. I luckily found them on eBay for 20 euros, it's a Gipiemme design. Then I found the correct Benotto bar tape for cheap too.
I do have a Dura-Ace 7400 groupset (with brake levers seperated from the gears) but I was thinking more of doing a 100% French build...I'm just a bit sad the tubing is Reynolds haha.
Build check should look like this:
I'm having trouble finding an adequate Mavic seatpost in 26,4mm that wouldn't cost me a liver on eBay. Then I'll need to find a nice Corima Ultra Pro seat or something else.
Anyway, I won't be giving updates on this build for at least a year because I'm far from the parts. But I have other builds I will be able to show you guys like:
