Got my sh1t together and finished another build. Polished the frame, wiped over the components and stuck it together.
Here it is: the Services des Courses.
SB7843, 531c
Record Pista chainset, BB, pedals, front hub and headset (non-fluted 165mm cranks from '85-'87)
Khamsin rear disc
Super Champion Arc en Ciel front rim, 28h
Cinelli steel bars and stem
C-Record first-gen seatpost (with the small ridge where the round section meets the aero)
Suede Turbo saddle
Benotto tape
Christophe double straps
I'm claiming it as more or less period-correct. Even though the bars and stem are '50s or '60s, a few people still used them in the '80s
I'm delighted with how it looks. Let's if I can remain that way once I've put the saddle down to my height. I think I'll have to use a non-aero seatpost and low-profile saddle to make it work. The top tube is my length, but the seat tube is 3cm too long.
