Period correct makes you limited, just forget that and build a rad bike with the bits you like. Mine went 5 stages or so before arriving to how it looks now, and it's not finished yet.

Is it yellow and green?

i'll find out tomorrow! looked sunshine yellow at first but now all i see is green!

Lloyd is dreamy. Sick as a parrot over here.

let's hope it gets built up well.

Get some Zeus bits to match the drop outs ;-) I find they work well for period correctness and for hhsb points if needed.

If it were me, I'd do a period correct looking build but with some more modern components where it matters most i.e. sealed bb and sealed hubs.

see:

Replacing bb for Phil and hubs from Campag Pista to Formulas made a huge difference. Period correct build was nice to look at but felt too fragile.

i'll need to think hard about how i'll use it. thought likely that will change a few times.
