Beater build, love this frame, may have to strip it and re-do it as shiney at a later date, for now it has to avoid envious glances while I'm at work (in Cheltenham where, as the chap in LBS said earlier while chatting, 'they tend to nick suspension'). All cheap parts, although I'm very pleased with the Campag cranks. Still short of a stem and front brake (ordered), concerned by where the axle sits in the drop outs. The front ring is 52, the rear 19, and the chain seems to be one or even just half a link too short, so the axle sits very far forward in the drop out, and the chain is as taut as very taut thing. Is it safe?
