I managed to get some an old SR Royal 'Extra Super-Light' crankset recently, very cheaply and they are beautifuly machined/lightened versions of the Royal cranks with a flute on the back, they are VERY light, also the matching quill stem and seatpost turn up occasionally and have nice cutouts... the lightest headset I have is the needle/roller bearing Stronglight A9, but can be a btch to setup.
Aende TT bikes often have amazing weight saving tricks on them..
-for my two penneth worth..!

Condor looks really nice, ace forks also. Its got the right period flavour but I just had four frames re-done at Armourtex and the wife has developed a quizical look..!
Good prices
Good luck!

To be honest, if you put a 650c where a 700c front wheel was you will lower the bottom bracket a bit and risk pedal strike on cornering, BUT if you were to use an old 27" fork as opposed to a 700c close-clearence fork it might equalise it a bit.. the front brake would need to be very long to reach as earlier mentioned.
-Good luck

Hi, looks good, does it come with nuts?
Sorely tempted..
-
If you havn't seen this AENDE yet I recommend a look..
This TT bike is bloody amazing, everything drilled and SUPER lightweight...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330649048888?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

This lo-pro looks sweet and he has the decals for it, nice price also:
-
I've got a few of these and I can vouch for their light weight, usually 531 or Accles and Pollock tubes, love to take it off your hands but I just have too many already, great price though.

Sorry you didnt get the boike metrocammell..
-
Who was the frame repairer/painter out of interest Pistoffski?
Do tell... -
Looks like you've got a nice Super Record washer in there though, it should be a thinner flat washer like in the image from Cheesecake_intl, it should rebate into the locknut and be almost hidden - looks really good. That grooved washer fetches a few quid on its own..
Cheers -
Filled the form in then it said I "had the wrong email address" WHAT the f@@@@@@@k!
The mrs is super pissed off with me now...wasting Saturday morning etc etc, basically I think it's the old 'pre registered' cronyism I see at a lot of events... -

Bought a 22 inch fillet brazed one on the bay a year ago for absolute peanuts, 1948, plain guage 531 for a 27.0 seatpost, with the original metal headbadge and Lytalloy seatpost clamp, it was for 26" wheels so 700C fit a treat.. just had it refinished and it looks like it was made yesterday - lovely frame. They do pop up on ebay regularly and are often very cheap, I own several different models, most of which looked like basket cases but are so damned light and ride lovely.
I'm riding a 1950 Raceweight to work at the moment with the same lugs as Knowthejo's. Good luck with the project!
