Very nice, frame is lush, and my yearning for a Mercks Max fork is undiminished.
Hope you are slim or planning or not riding those wheels much, or the roads where you live are velodrome smooth. Those 12 spoke Shamals wheels are prone to multiple hairline cracks where the spokes join the rim. I've trashed through a pair of them myself on UK roads, which as they're eye wateringly expensive these days, was extra painful. The 16 spoke ones seem much sturdier, but clincher ones are harder to find than tubulars, and they're still ruddy expensive.
Looking forward to seeing it built up, with shiny silver I hope.
Campag or Shimano?
