I have a feeling this may be quite slow project I picked up frame fork and rear wheel a week last wednesday with some wild thoughts of what to do which rapidly cooled off once I was with the frame.
It is a very well crafted frame, atm I'm supposed its SLX tubing, data will be added here once collected e.g. frame weight a measurement or two.
The ultimate plan is to set it with gears, once over the joy of riding it fixed and getting ideas, this will be a stage proses in changing first with bars stem and calipers.
For the brakes in style I was thinking side-pull Athena.
The bars and stem are made a bit more complicated by having leavers I want to use, 20mmø bar end internal routing, I'd be interested to see what Argos say about a modification or someone knowing the right bars.
As a rough guide wheels; Mavic 126OLD to CP19 32h narrow rim.
Cranks gearing; 170mm 10speed I do like older Miche & campag victory.
Saddle Brooks.
I know how all this can all change into what can be done
all be it tatty on paint and scrapes for now with a headset service & some bolts it has been set up with spares for more or less carpark duty's while I get a sense for it.
