• I was probably more interested in my own mind as to whether it would count as a promise fulfilled given one ensures that it wouldn't sell... but that was my own idle curiousity and probably counts as me prying into something that is none of my business.

    Whilst I'm personally not that keen on the build, I quite enjoyed flicking through your blogspot - nice when people take that kind of interest in something.

    Thanks, that's kind. The build is entirely a matter of taste for sure. I would like any Campag build on that frame, old or new. For riding I personally prefer modern shifters.
    The promise fulfilled? Well we agreed I'd sell it for at least £100.00 more than the total cost. So promise fulfilled.
    Bikes in shops are at least 50% more than the build cost. Profit to manufacturer, profit to shop etc etc. So it' was actually a good deal, despite what **SOME **people have been saying here, bearing in mind the modern goupset/classic frame mix. I could only have done it cheaper using second hand bits, without a trade account somewhere.
    BTW the costs include wheels bought at trade price, groupset for £245.00 (including new chainring), bars reduced online, Nitto Pearl 10 bought at trade (still £58.00!). Workshop fees very reasonable as friend of owner/mechanic. So it's not like I was charging **top **dollar.
