Bike in commute mode, with clamp on brake, loving riding at the mo, the Sugs combined with that frame is so stiff when you stamp on the pedals.
Continuing to debate restoration, will be after annual bonus so August prolly. Sparkly black is current thinking. I'd also like to get the lugged seat cluster painted white, and potentially some custom white Razesa decals. I'd don't want it looking contemporary though, that fat down tube was way ahead of its time.
Also long-term thinking about wheels. A spoke broke on the rear wheel so it's a Pistard on there at the mo. However I want something more classic, so have an eye out for any NOS Campy Omega Stada Hardox Aero rims pop up anywhere, my favourites. But the rest of the build is Japanesey, so also contemplating Araya maybe. I don't want anything that breaks the bank, it would be overkill for how I'm going to use the bike.
Any thoughts on paint job and wheelset gratefully received
