• Well it's arrived, I just need to get some new tyres (obviously) and none of that gumwall nostalgia, I'm not too keen on that. I put a pimping white turbo saddle on it tonight and a decent minimal stainless steel bottle cage. I also have one of those Italian ones with the pair of gold circular inserts, but think they are ghastly - a bit too Snoop D. can't do too much tonight as I'm knackered and I always screw something up in that state. The Shimano 600 is in great order, I forgot what a dog the 600 seatpost was to adjust though, plus how hard you have to tighten it to stop the saddle wiggling. Not one of their better ones.
