I picked this frame up a few weeks back to replace an old al Tifosi I didn't get on with particularly well. It's got a bit of history to it, having allegedly been ridden by a member of Team Brite in the past, and built by the well regarded Paul Donohue.
Not pictured: black, straight blade 853 forks. (Apologies for awful photo)
So far all I've done is give the frame a bit of a rub down and installed the fork crown.The plan so far is nothing exciting:
Shimano Tiagra group. This is all I have around, and (not that this is important to me at all) may look roughly period correct for the frameset.
Budget wheelset originally from spesh tarmac.
This being steel, the intention is that I'll own it for a long time and upgrade as my cycling ability improves. As it stands I can't justify ££££ on this.
Can anyone give me any pointers on nice 90/100mm quill stems and 27.2mm seatposts? I'm looking to jump straight into decent quality for these, preferably something a darker grey colour.
