• Decided on a more modern build than what the frame originally came with. I had a bunch of stuff in the parts bin which drove this, as well as the fact that I will probably ride it more with a slightly newer groupset.
    The parts i had that were earmarked for this bike are as follows.

    • White industries vbc cranks and Phil wood bottom bracket.
    • GB 40mm fenders.
    • Grand Bois 30mm extra light tyres.
      The frame was originally for 27inch wheels so 700c 30 with fenders should work nicely.
    • Velo orange front rack that I picked up second hand that had been modified by kumo cycles to mount a dynamo light.
    • Schmidt son edelux front light.
    • son 28 hub laced to h plus son archetype rim. I also had a spare archetype rim so just needed to find a rear hub.
    • ultegra ten speed shifters.
    • 7800 ten speed dura ace derailleurs.
    • UBI stem that I liked the angle of but really wasn't a fan of the finish. So I found this stem that I thought could be like a poor man's Rene herse.
