Is it still a project if you're just speccing it up and paying someone to build it for you?
Anyway, I've outgrown my Cinelli alu road-racer, as I now ride 15 miles of pot holes, broken tarmac and crumbling speed bumps a day, and it's doing my arse in, so I've pulled the trigger on a new bike. I've chosen Condor as it's been my LBS for several years and I've grown rather fond of their high prices and prestige. I'm also crossing the floor and sitting with the Shimano lot. I know it's cooking-quality, but my Campag Veloce has given me no end of arse ache so I'm relishing the change.
Sticking with standard purple, partly for cost reasons, and partly because I fell in love with this Mercian many moons ago and it's not far off:
Just putting this here as an archive incase anyone in the future does a search and wants to know my thoughts on the various choices I've made.
