Ha! Yeah I thought that too about the chainring thing (wasn't really intending to sell put it up for sale when I took the photo a while back & it hasn't been out of the bike shed since).
Re the gatorskins I think I get where you're coming from - although as you can see, i'm not trying to make it too period correct or anything, just like to mix the best of old / new. I find they roll faster & more puncture proof than any old school tyres, but each to their own I guess. Same with the wheelset, groupset etc, they're just lightweight & work well for me...
