Current Projects chat and miscellany

I picked this up last weekend for 130£ (in local currency) and I've now disassembled most of it, as you can tell. I bought it from the original owner, who purchased it new in 1998. He had not been riding for several years, and had had it stored in a heated garage, which may explain why there's practically no rust.

• Colombus Thron frame with a Miche headset
  
• Shimano 105 group except pedals (don't know if they even made 105 pedals at that time)
  
• 105 hubs with Mavic CXP12 rims
  
• 26.0mm 3T stem and bars.
  
  

I've ordered new tires, chain, casette, cables and handlebars, and I'm currently waiting for delivery while cleaning the parts.

I wasnt digging the paint scheme at first, thought it looked cheap and like a kids bike, but i'm starting to like it.
