(I'll update both)

So I have got this Mistral frameset from MrGumpy here on the forum.
This was the frame as I got it from him:

and this is how it came back from Mario:

The bike will have as many as possible Shimano 105 Golden Arrow components. I liked the Arabesque too, but the Golden Arrow, IMHO, wins in style. The Arabesque was just too much! The Golden Arrow looks much more cleaner and I LOVE the shifters.
Shame I found the aereo downtube shifters on Pedal Pedlar only after I ordered these ones (and they were cheaper too! :()

So far I have got almost everything:

• Frame and forks: Holdsworth Mistral flamboyant wine red - cable stops and bb guides braze-on [paint from Mario Vaz]
  
• Seat post: Kalloy [NOS]
  
• Saddle: San Marco Ergo White or Flux faux-leather
  
• Handlebar stem: GB with Red painted GB logo engraving - 90mm
  
• Handlebars: GB - drop down ==> UPDATE: GB won't fit, using unknown steel handlebars
  
• Brake lever: Shimano 105 aero - white hoods - bit sticky though...
  
• Rear Caliper brake: Shimano Golden Arrow (nutted 57mm max reach)
  
• Front Caliper brake: Shimano Golden Arrow (nutted)
  
• Downtube shifters: Shimano Golden Arrow (clamp-on - non aero)
  
• Crankset: Shimano Golden Arrow (non fluted)
  
• Front derailleur: Shimano Golden Arrow
  
• Rear derailleur: Shimano Golden Arrow (I don't think it's the long cage one)
  
• Headset: Shimano Golden Arrow
  
• BB: YST Threadless 119mm
  
• Wheelset:Shimano Golden Arrow wheelset (as soon as I get them back from truing)
  
• Tyres: Schwalbe Marathon Plus - 700cx35
  
• Pedals: Lyotard 460D alloy with Christophe toe-straps
  
• Chain: new KMC Z7 grey 7/8 speed
  
• Seat binder bold: Campagnolo
  
• Dropout adjusters: Campagnolo
  
• Brake housing: white Campagnolo C Record brake cables
  
  
  

This is how it looks so far with all the components on (just for a quick look):

More pictures:

Swapped recessed brake calipers with nutted ones:

Mounted on the frame they look lovely:

(not sure about this color combination though)

It looks shiny, doesn't it?
