Manged to get this built yesterday and took for a spin this morning . Running 25c tyres at 90psi it feels smooth enough and still fast! Still need to fine tune the gears.
Parts to Update:
Wheels - Khamsin / Fulcrum 7 Lg still to order.
Bottle cage - may go with traditional silver metal cage, will decide once wheels arrive.
Stem - would like something nicer, possibly Thomson X2.
Cable guides - Current ones are stuck on with double sided tape but keep pulling away. Vintage Cannondale are now selling Alu cnc'd ones that fix into holes in the top tube.
Fork - would like a 1 inch carbon e.g. Minimal if I can find at a good price, still looking .
Headset - came with the original Dia Compe Aheadset (1994 so one of the first threadless headsets ?) . Ok but a bit shabby so will update at some point.
