@sepe84 the dreadnought has arrived :)
Thanks mate, I'm well pleased, its lovely and was really well packaged. And as you said in PM, the paint is much more amazing than shown in these pics. Its 90's holographic chameleon style, from above as in most of the pics here it looks dark blue, but as soon as you look from the side its fully purple.
Purple + chrome + sunshine = win
It's going to be built up with 10 speed shiny silver Campagnolo bits and it should look great, but
because of the two tone paint, I'm having Mashton-esque ideas of crazy holographic colour changing bar tape, vinyl wrapping a saddle and maybe some pedals, so its like a 90's slammed and pimped Honda. God help me.
I've got most of the shiny Campag bits now, but am desperately looking for some old shape 10 speed Chorus or Centaur silver-levered shifters, (not the silver 10 speed Veloce or any carbon ones). If anyone has any for sale to finish this off, dibs, please hit me up. Cash money waiting and I can come and collect at a convenient time if they are London based, and if its a deal breaker I promise not to play around with vinyl wrap ;)
