So I've decided to sack off the Condor frame after some minor concern over rusting and mostly trying to purchase a (not shit looking) shifter braze-on adaptor so that I can use modern brifters.
Anyway, I had the hubs built onto some TB14s as planned with Sapim race spokes and wrapped with Panaracer Paselas:
Such wheel, many lust, very build.
As for the replacement; I just got hold of this 58cm Bill Nickson frame today, made from 25 Cro-Mo4 Micro Alloyed Dedacciai (so just 'Steel' then?) you might have spotted it on the 'bay:
It also came with the original blue fork, which might go back on for that touch of old class.
DA 7700 Brifters are in the post. Once I have my mitts on those I will be ready to build.
"It's so close I can taste it"
@ID how did you get on with your build in the end?

Bit late to the party but buy a set of clamp on downtube shifters. Remove levers and attach brifter cable adjusters. I did that with an old DuraAce set on my Raleigh. Looks good.
