Sizes and technicalities aside
The frame really is lovely, and is very light
It's showing it's age a little bit with some areas of corrosion, but as my first geared project I'm not too fussed. If this works out well then I may have to find myself a pristine version.
So. Plans
I'm not going to go all out weight weenie on this, but seeing as how it's light as fook I'm going to try and keep the weight down as much as possible whilst keeping it relatively period correct in its spec.
Since I first knew I was going to buy this I've already been collecting bits and bobs that I've seen and prepping for hopefully a relatively simple and swift build
The parts so far:
Groupset - Dura Ace 7700
Wheels - ......
Seatpost - Thomson initially
Saddle - Fizik Antares Carbon
Stem - ?????
Handlebars - 3T Ergonova
