Bought an Omnium New Skool frameset and shifted parts from another bike.
If anyone is considering buying this frameset, there may be issues with crankset clearance. The Miche Primato Advanced spider hit the chainstay with the recommended 107mm bottom bracket (the 48t chainring also hit the chainstay). I had to use a 113mm bottom bracket in order to get a couple of millimetre clearance. This means the chainline is out by about 3mm, so it is a little noisy. It is a new chain, so hoping it might quieten down after a while. Otherwise I will need the wheel redished.
I was also only just able to fit the 45mm Velo Orange front mudguard in the fork (I had to slightly squish it to get it in there). This meant I could only fit a 35mm tyre (a 38mm would not fit) so I highly doubt one could get a 40mm tyre and mudguards in there as Omnium claim on their website (although elsewhere I have seen them say 37mm).
