It's been a while since anything happened with this... but I now have a finished chainset.
As previously stated, I was planning on holding out for a set of Unfluted Super Record cranks for this... but then I saw these:
They were too good a deal to pass up: quite badly listed on ebay, with only a couple of small photos, not much blurb and a reasonable starting price, and only listed for 24 hours. They are practically NOS, and came with all the bolts and an NOS 46t chainring.
I've switched the chainring to a 51t, and added some super record dust caps that I bought a while ago (I prefer the flatter design of them to the globe shaped ones). Here's how the build is shaping up now:
I'll have to wait a very long time until I can justify spending more money on the correct pedals and sundries, but a chain and 16t sprocket will probably get involved quite soon. I won't be splashing out on a period correct chain or cog - I'll probably just go to Condor and get something midrange that works.
PM me if you're in the market for an NOS 46t 3/32 campag chainring (144bcd)
