Yep, it is a nice frame - the only real flaw is the home made crimp in the chain stay - probably made to clear a double chainset.
After sleeping on it, I'm definitely going down a rebuild route, albiet a budget one. Thinking Shimano 600 or early 105 for the rear mech and DT shifter, cranks of a similar era. I do have some 600 (fc-6207) cranks which would probs work with a single ring.
Shopping list if anyone has any bits (will repost in wanted)
Brake calipers, Shimano
Rear mech and DT shifter, Shimano
Bars - looking at something like a shallow drop profile airwing or similar.
Wheels - maybe Mavic CXP33 or old cosmics?
I'm building this with a mindset of getting it functional and reasonably correct without being anal about it.
