• A cheap as chips build to get this xmas present frame going - had to buy one gear cable, a bottom bracket and the shimano 600 groupset, everything else was either parts bin or donations from far-too-generous forum types (thanks so much for getting this thing on the road). Took it for its first real spin yesterday. Bit hairy, but I reckon it's a keeper.

    There's a silver seatpost on its way to me and I've got a matching rear wheel but I either need to somehow get an 8sp cassette on a campag 10 freehub or re-lace it to something shimano hyperglidey before I can go matchy-matchy.
