• yeah, dont want to be too anal about period parts, but its wrong to put modern mid range parts on a rare and classic frame.

    A straight-stayed Hetchins with basic (for a Hetchins) lug work hardly counts as either rare or classic. What's the alternative, anyway? Spending months and hundreds of pounds sourcing period correct parts so you can enter it in Concours d'Elegance competitions, and then not wanting to ride it because you'll wear out your precious Chater-Lea chainring.
