So this project has changed a little since I last posted..
I've got quite a few bikes (most of them ultra modern carbon stuff) but this is probably my favourite. Whenever I've got some free time I'll just muck around with it whether it's a full rebuild or parts swap. I really enjoy spending time with this bike!
Just waiting on cassette, bar-tape (maybe classy black or some kind of bright green) and chain (gold)
Kinda given up on the whole super duper weight weenie stuff, but each part that gets changed is 90% of the time lighter than before. New bars are almost 1/2 weight of old ones, saddle is stripped SLR so crazy light.
Next is a carbon seat-post from my Tarmac and hubs laced onto some boxy grey rims, possibly TB14 or something Mavic.
Sadly this frame has a few issues.. seat collar is mangled and once upon a time would have taken beautiful Campagnolo binder, now only takes a big bolt with washers. I also believe it was crashed at one point, the head-tube is slightly stretched so I had to shim the head-set to get it in tightly. Pretty basic frame, not sure whether it's 531 or not..
