Is it a domestic use bike? I mean. That's the only reason for a washing up liquid bottle right?

Its to be specc'd for fast house touring, hence why its an aero washing up bottle

Can't wait to see the domestic themed tyres.

It has arrived

Awful photo while I try and piss about during phone calls

Are you suggesting the photo quality is awful? Can you take the "garish" filter off?

You're keeping the pump right?

very lemond/zed

Just jealous that its the antithesis of your MaMMiL CHaRioT

It is brilliantly awful though eh

Keeping the pump, binning everything else

So on point for on here.

yeah, close!

This was made in '93 and I got it of the only owner. He had it painted in line with his club colours and Brian (or who ever was doing the paint then) came up with this time specific amazingness

By the time this is finished it will be so on here that its basically over there

Front brake had me going for a while.

Rare 105 ‘unicorn’ version

Started stripping this down last night

Paint is fantastically awful, but in good nick for 27yrs old. I need to do some research into sympathetic cleaning products to remove some ingrained road muck though. Anyone got any recommendations?

The frame is quite aggressive (for me) the BB shell (which is Cinelli, I discovered under the grime) is 3cm lower and HT 2 cm shorter than my modern Rourke despite having Roughly the same TT and ST lengths.

Weekend jobs will be to remove the shifter boss shrouds and keep cleaning it up

Are you keeping the 600?
(I ask because in my shed is an old turbo (spit) training wheel, which is a 600 rear hub. free innit)

The 600 will be moved on, might keep the cranks though as they are really nice

ta though

The cranks are really nice, almost nice enough to build a bike around.
