edscoble-
I know right?! Needs a simplex 6600rd for it to be 'just so' but that's a way off. Oddly, I'm completely sold on friction for fd shifting, particularly on this bike, I've never shifted so smoothly and the infinite trim is sweet.
@saarf @miro_o cheers, I've tinkered even more over the past few days, will post an update soon. I have a feeling though I'll be endlessly tinkering over the next few weeks until I'm properly happy. Money means I can't actually buy anything for it but tweaking is free right! Unless anyone wants to give me a rolls or turbo for free...
Anyway, enough rambling and more riding. I love this bike!

rescued from a skip on Thursday this bike:http://imgur.com/a/M3kBZ
It was in a very sorry state, seised seatpost and stem, stuck pedal, gritty bearings, gummy grease everywhere clogging shit up.
Took the weekend and a raid of the parts bin to get to this yesterday http://imgur.com/a/jK5RQ
Very pleased! and she rides well, if a bit low on gear range.
