Not a project really, but a winter hack.
Simples - the wheels are be cheapo touring black Mavic A119 with Campy front and coaster hub on the back and 28 Continental Ultra Sport tyres as I wanted something wider (they will be replaced with Panaracer Pasela TGs later on when I feel like spending more money). I've got a spare Campagnolo Chorus seat post and hopefully from this evening a different old type stem.
I was thinking of sourcing some skinny black rims for tubs, like old Ambrosio or Weinmann, but as the frame was build for the 27"s with the full mudguards, there's no point to make it prettier, because it will not happen with this geometry.
The frame isn't really worth proper restoration - the paintwork will chip very soon and the dropouts are made of butter (I actually bend them by hand to accommodate a wider axle).
ps. Excuse me that shitty photo, but it was taken with my daughter's basic Pentax. Will be posting something better, when the build is finished.
