Take one set of Nervex lugs

Interesting read. Might pinch a few of the ideas.

....without children in tow. Good call.

That's looking fantastic!

Definitely something I'd like to have a go at, not sure I have the patience though.

I want to get the fork-crown chromed.

Does anyone have experience of this mob?

Use allen chrome, everyone else does....

Will do, thanks.

Perhaps foolishly, I ignored Coldharbours' sage advice, and last night I dropped the forks off at Fox Plating in Sydenham.

Interesting place.

Fingers crossed.

I know fox plating. Interesting choice indeed....

^Ominous.

@Tel did that, but stopped offering it as it was pricey.

More often found on Retrobike theses days if you wanted to tap him up for advice.

If its a fork it will be fine I'm sure, industrial chromers often have problem with thin walled tubing, but fork crown lugs are just about the thickest area of a bike, so don't worry.

Phew.

Australia again but .. https://www.cycloretro.com/pricing .. do pantographing to parts. There's some pictures somewhere on the web .. http://road.cc/content/tech-news/216195-campagnolo-potenza-gets-shiny-makeover-cycloretrocom .. of a Pontenza group set they did recently

That's mental, will start putting my pennies in a jar.

Just dropped the frame and fork off with Dave at Colourtech.

Three weeks.

Are you still going for the De Rosa colours ?

Yep.

Quick update:

I have been speaking to Chris at Cyclo-Retro, who has been amazing to deal with.

Have just ordered a pantographed Potenza group from him.

Might be a bit over the top, but fuck it!

Daaamn that's gonna look so good

Noice!

Yes! Can't wait to see the results

Went to Crayford this morning.

By strange coincidence, Geoff Roberts was there doing some repairs, so had a nice chat then came away with this:

Happy days.

fuck .. even your fence is perfect :'(

Bloody hell that's nice.

beautiful! you must be very chuffed-what groupset are you going to put on it?

edit: panto'd potenza-hubba hubba!
