Selfish two hours in the sunshine this afternoon to see what fits / doesn’t / needed / could be bodged
Main issue is the drivetrain
I have a Chorus bb but it’s a 101 and I need a 111mm axle version
Then I need 9spd shifters (maybe bar end versions?), an fd - the 28.5mm bracket version, ideally Chorus (got Veloce, Mirage, Croce D’une lol) and a medium or long cage rd to match (I have half a dozen but they’re all short eights. I am an idiot collector.)
The seat tube is 27.2 but the black anodised one I have doesn’t fit. But the polished Laparade one does. WTF. Reaming might work it
The black ITM stem and drops are nice, going to try and make that work
Other bits and bobs for checking out so we’ll see
The tyres are nice but even at 35psi are cracking so will need to look at replacing them in due course
Overall, am happy and now getting a better idea of what’s going on here :)
