• Well that's incredible. I have no idea what a Somec with Shamals costs but hoping one day I'll be position to build a bike like this. Please take lots of pics when it's done.

  • Will do (regarding pictures).

    Have run into a small snag.

    The groupset is a 9 speed Chorus I've been saving (for about 10 years) for the right project.

    Unfortunately, I've just discovered the front mech is band on, not braze on as I require.

    Bit irritating but shouldn't take too long to sort out.

    Similarly, I've had the wheel for ages. I think they look brilliant on this frame.
