I bought this frame restored earlier this year and now I have started to buy parts for it.
the D/T decals have been mis-applied I think - too close together but apart from that it seems to be in good order.
the frame does not have the rear rack braze on's so this makes it a racing RRA in my book and I wonder if it was ever used this way.
I have a Renoylds 531 stem and Renoylds bars that are awfully narrow and a challanging shape, may have to change these. The hubs are Solite 32F/40R (fixed). I plan to lace them to tubular rims possibly wooden ones. Tyres will be Challange Strada Bianca 30mm because the are comfortable, don't puncture (have 4000km on the clinchers without issue) and they have a tan side wall which I like.
The brake lever bought are GB Arret. No hoods at present and they need cleaning up.
I have bought today a William's crankset and NOS chainrings for it. I have also got coming a Renolds Elite 1/2"x 1/8" chain (NOS).
Looking for a period seatpost, pedals, brakes, a period fixed sprocket too and a BB for this chainset.
Looking forward to riding it.
