You beat me to this by a few seconds! I saw it relisted with the forks and instantly clicked 'Buy it now' to find it already sold.
My plans were to build it with an Arabesque groupset, Campgnolo Tipo hubs, change the top tube cable guides back to side mounted, refinish in a similiar blue and try and find period correct decals. Do Condor supply theses?
My initial thoughts were that the seatpost bolt, top tube guides, bottle cage mounts,Shimano BB guides and dropouts were all modifications done by Argos when it was refinished. But now i'm not so sure on some of these. The BB guides and cage mounts are definitely additions.
I've emailed Argos to see whether they still hold records from when it was repainted (late 70s - early 80s according to seller) with a view to finding out if/what modifications they completed at the time of the repaint.
