I picked this beauty of a frame up about a year go from a lovely chap down in Exeter who was using it as a commuter and had it built up with mainly BLB parts. At the time I had the cash to splash out on a new and mainly Campy pista and Nitto components. I probably spent too much but I didn't have the time to scour the net and find the era correct deals. But now it's time to do some justice and spend the time and cash on giving this frame the group-set it deserves in my opinion.
I'm starting this thread mainly because I enjoy following others like this but also to use it as a resource for research and opinions on parts etc. Hopefully people will dig it.
In terms of the frame it was made in 1985 at the Ilkeston factory in Derbyshire. It's made out of Reynolds 753R with Cinelli cast BB and lugs with Campag drops and either a Davis or Prugnat fork crown. SB7610 55.5 on the BB.
The build date puts it bang on the C-record pista group-set era but i'm not decided yet and i'm open to suggestions.
