Building this up today as a kind of old-school lightweight fast tourer/retro gravel type thing.Frame is a scruffy early 80's Allin that I've tried to touch up (I emphasise the Tried here, turns out flamboyant is as hard to touch up as you might expect it to be.)
Going to be build with TA Cyclotourist 50/42 double crankset , Campag Nuovo Record front and rear with some old Record bar end shifters, Mafac Racer Centre-Pull brakes for much clearance, and a 27" wheel set -Super Champion on Campag Nuovo Tipo hubs. (hopefully with a Maillard 700 6-speed freewheel if I can remove the mangled old Regina 5 speed that's currently fitted.)
I know naff-all about fitting friction shifters so should be a fun learning experience...
