agreed, the adjective clumsy springs to mind; too much inelegant tubing, not helped by 650b wheels (?!)

would suit hammered fenders, porteur, ect..

650b?

yeah, those balloon circus jokez omegas, pffftttt......

I set myself the challenge of trying to offend Miro more than anyone else today:

White bar tape.

Don't be tempted by the ease of black.

It must be white.

YES!
Both headset spacer and new bars arrived I presume?

Took photo, rotated bars down a bit, now I have errands to run - still a lot of detail to finish off.

brake levers in nodder position

Needs better photo-age. If I am doing nothing next week I'll pop down with a camera .. needs daylight tho.

Very nice.

^they're not in the same position!

Nice looking bike Neil, did have a concern that you were gonna knock the pump off mid build and dent/chip the frame

Why non aero brake cable routing?

BR-6401 are correct for 1990, that and I could only find non-aero in NOS condition.

If anyone spots the aero ones in NOS condition do please let me know.

Sorted out the bar angle, I have noticed (super annoying, this) that I've fitted the headset cups with the grease ports un-aligned with one another.

Also this bartape is for shit - way too thick, so it's likely to see the bin shortly.

Looks to me like you would like to be able to ride on the hoods with these you can't.

He's never going to hit 88mph on that thing...

Would this have had cloth tape in 1990?

Cinelli cork tape has been around since 1987

Prior to that bike ribbon or Benotto tape would have been de rigueur

nice build so far, but are you planning to keep the brake cables in front of the handlebar?

Is that a faux pas? I've never set them up before and the last bike I had them on was ~25 years ago.

This doesent look bad and is washable: http://road.cc/content/review/117885-esi-grips-rct-wrap-bar-tape

Seen in white on scoble's bike. You can chuck it in washing machine an re-use.
