@jono84 thanks! You can add the generally awful road surfaces to the list of the reasons to avoid this part of the world for cycling however beautiful it is. I’d just descended into Castle Combe when I took this pic and trying to stay in control of 68gi while picking a line through the potholes made for a fairly grim time.
@Arnomatic yeah, it’s a beauty isn’t it? I love the understatedness of it. I think Stan built this one a few years after your dad’s in 1980 (frame number SP8059) but it’s had a respray at some point. It’s got these amazing Campag fork ends that are the beefiest ones I’ve ever seen! I haven’t had the chance to take many pics of it, but I do have these from @retrodicorsa who was kind enough to sell it to me even though he had it built up for himself!
