I meant to update this build/thread a while back, sorry for the delay. My excuse? I've been enjoying and riding it at weekends lots! :-)
Just as M_V and Scilly advised I managed to get the chainline down to 42mm is by fitting the 103mm BB cartridge. Awethumne, look at it now, phwwwwoooooaaarrr!
That pulled everything in nicely see...
Right, so thats how I've been riding it since just before Christmas, I fitted 25C Gatorskins and have kept it minimal, light and speedy. Love it. Very different from the Dawes fixie commuter in the other thread.
Talking of which, that Campag wheelset my chum gifted to me, thanks Mr Suffolk for the advice. Today Mr Postman delivered this lot in time for Saturday fettling...
Oooo, my flares are flapping, is it right to be excited by this kind of thing?
