Bloody lovely. I think sometimes Shamals can look a little too flashy on a lot of builds but this works beautifully, even the low spoke count gives it a sort of minimalist elegance. The whole thing just looks really clean. I did also wonder about the drive-side rear cable routing though.
Re: saddle, I don't like the rivets on the Regal and I personally find the Rolls a tad too chunky. Not sure if there is any period-correct compromise? I'm getting a Fizik Arione for my Ron Cooper, modern but kind of subtle enough. Hasn't got shit loads of massive logos all over it anyway. But the Rolls still does look classy. :)
