I'm going to build the lightest 50's British Lightweight possible.
Will have a 3 speed derailieur + cassette, mafac racer brakes and TA crankset soon.
Ed i think that bug has been incubating in the forum for a while, caught it too. for the moment 2speed nuovo record groupset, mafac racers with mafac front rack.sheldons page on them is great btw. using the mercian i just picked up from Mario, from the 1975 though not 50s.
