@JWestland @saarf cheers guys. Turns out its a TDF stage winner, coming third overall in the 81 race with Hinaut as that years tour winner.
Its Columbus SL Tubing, featuring a cinelli bb shell. I've never owned such nice steel, let alone pull any out of a friggin bin! It might even eventually become preferred steed, if i can get a reasonable gear range for climbing on it.
needs; white turbo saddle and bar tape (to get it closer to the stock bike), original suntour rear mech (or both fd and rd changed to be contemporary with the rest of the 'upgrades'), beige brake cable housing and a nicer chain thats not from wilko's.
For now ill just take it out on the flat, when its not too windy. Or STFU/HTFU.
I'm pretty stoked about it actually.
