This is moving along. I've just watched these go sky-hi on ebay
as I'm working out how much of this I'll use not victory but triomphe.

Cheers, it should be a good journey

although very apparent at first I don't notice the short wheelbase as I have not switched back to another bike or put this through its paces.

It will be hard not to flood this with photos. But somethings I've noticed about the frame:
Not too much pinch on the post bolt
The fork shape and clearance

. Including this one I've only ridden four frames and as for quality this one is up with witcomb. as for me riding it the saddle is creeping down a little, as I think about changing the crank from 172.5mm to 170mm, and the steering is coming nicely from the frame. One change that there is are nitto 006 which were ordered late after loseing my phone with not much more thought than they would fit the stem clamp
not sure if I am trying to hangon too much by wanting to use these

current project is not to sell it sorry I don't know of others available

picture within text !

and then with something

I have a feeling this may be quite slow project I picked up frame fork and rear wheel a week last wednesday with some wild thoughts of what to do which rapidly cooled off once I was with the frame.
It is a very well crafted frame, atm I'm supposed its SLX tubing, data will be added here once collected e.g. frame weight a measurement or two.
The ultimate plan is to set it with gears, once over the joy of riding it fixed and getting ideas, this will be a stage proses in changing first with bars stem and calipers.
For the brakes in style I was thinking side-pull Athena.
The bars and stem are made a bit more complicated by having leavers I want to use, 20mmø bar end internal routing, I'd be interested to see what Argos say about a modification or someone knowing the right bars.
As a rough guide wheels; Mavic 126OLD to CP19 32h narrow rim.
Cranks gearing; 170mm 10speed I do like older Miche & campag victory.
Saddle Brooks.

I know how all this can all change into what can be done
all be it tatty on paint and scrapes for now with a headset service & some bolts it has been set up with spares for more or less carpark duty's while I get a sense for it.

PM 'd

Nice old ground I haven't seen in years

How mine is from March -

Nice, I do have the occasional eBay glance for them.

Sold received and good

Dibs if postage is available will pm when away from work

If I've worked it out right:
this should work good for the Hatta bottom bracket lockring http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/park-tool-bottom-bracket-tool-bbt7/rp-prod13228
these for the pin cup
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/park-tool-adjustable-pin-spanner-spa6/rp-prod17509
and this is white grease

correct if there is better

I sat on the same dilemma for some time (also throw-in and ruled out a export frame) for the many reasons went for the Bob better paint more 631 flex forks intended to have a brake not fancying OS tubing and then the upgrades, arrowhead lug and 725 triangle, after which it hit £blah & no complains // also no toe over lap 73º head angle I missed that at first

yep

that's a top draw build

if @LukeG isn't interested I think this would work for me!

from what i'm talking about
I found the pinocchio stem, good price, stupid length 130mm.
other bits for the sake of it

bad reference pic ahoy >
is a 22" (approx. 56cm)
took five and a half weeks from order to deliver.

I have a massive desire for a cinelli pinocchio stem & some zero drop syntace strados bullhorn bars
(or lino blissbee & jag)
till later

Does anyone know if these are available anywhere in the UK ,yet or ever?
[ I've just payed 54pound tax n handling fee with two more purchases to make ]&
I would say or something shockingly similar but they look like nitto B123 cut turned and pressed!

I think they're new, could they be got through someone who deals with Starfuckers maybe!

hang on hold tight - sorry , maybe I shouldn't have edited that!
I've tried to find confidence in the leg length crank length chart ,,

the longer cranks have a greater stretch a better feeling when taking it easy

[re-edit to delete]

2nd if that falls through?

PMd on the shot that the Stratos are still available
