Thanks!
Yeah, it seems like a sweet frame to base a build on. Fairly lightweight and seem to ride nicely!
Regarding saddle options. I do like the look of a well used Selle Italia Flite, however I will most likely use a trusty Fabric Scoop on this build.
My reasoning is I find them very comfy, the bike will see bad weather and I can accept the look.
In other news I have been eyeing tumbies to replace the twist shifters, and I know nothing about them.
Is the Falcon Tumbies a cheap and cheerful option or just a waste of time/money?
There are some nice listings on eBay for vintage ones, is that a better route?
