Bike is coming together- have swapped out the bars for nitto randonneuers from the parts bin. Original bars did not want to come out so rubber mallet got an outing.
Got hold of some 9 speed dura ace downtube shifters but don’t appear to have a friction mode? Will need to take a proper look but may have to return them.
Also won some 1993 shimano brake levers on eBay that look great and work perfectly so very happy with those.
Other than that, will be putting on a pair of cheap boardman pedals then waiting till I can afford new wheelset and groupset.
Oh, and just stabbed myself in the hand removing that fucking bartape so off to hospital for stitches.
Pics to follow.
