Cheers, it's a lush frame. The stays, cluster and bridge are particularly cute, and the fillets on the head tube are really light and beautifully filed. Slightly worried about the tracking... got a bit rushed talking to Winstan (he had a journo there, the week after Bespoked), wanted to ask him to take a look. Going to let the paint harden up for a long time before I do anything with it, hopefully I can even the ends out a bit myself.
No fork but was given with it a well chromed, drilled track fork with suitable looking bends (i.e. quite low and sharp) and nice luggy bits. Pretty sure it's not original. But will be fine.
Have black ano'd rims (700 ma40s) for it which goes against my instincts but heyho, 40/32 is tough to get a nice pair of rims in, really want to lace some Airlites I have, and clearances are too close on the back end for 27s. Think it must have been made to be tight with sprints.
Will look something like an old TT bike as it's dead small but with a longish top tube - going to have lots of seat pin and not much stem showing, got a lovely pair of really old track/crit type handlebar bend in steel.
Got to get round to collecting a nice stem from @moserism, find a good seat pin, and I think I'm pretty much there.
That's amazing Sully, looks well nice. Are there matching forks?
