the radio silence has been on mostly because the delivery of a new lens for my dslr for taking better photos of the projects got majorly delayed. royal snail took almost a month. miraculously, i took the delivery of it today. photos hopefully coming soon.
the bike itself has been built and it rides beautifully as expected. the steerer just hasn't been cut, which makes it less photogenic. i'm currently at the 'vigorously buying stems of different length and angle' stage.
the spare shimano freehub i had bought for the old tune to convert out of the cronchy campag cassette didn't fit. i'd need the red version which fits the mag 180, the blue one i tried only fits the newer mag 170 and 150 series. upon emailing tune themselves regarding the matter i was advised they don't have these anymore and offered discount on a new hub. might still do some more emailing with retailers who've sold the hub. feel free to reach out if you have one...
the condor fork is functionally sound but somehow sticks out quite a lot, as in there's a gap between the lower edge of the headset and the upper part of the crown. i've been advised this could be resolved with a certain special ck crown race.
a proper ride feel report should be coming soon too. already feel like getting the reynolds 853 emblem tattooed... ...as a tramp stamp like this:
