Cheers for headset offer but that and the BB will be bought brand new. I remember your bike - up for a Merckx ride too.
Saddle arrived this morning. Despite being NOS there were a number of smudges from storage so it's had a clean - seatpost is for illustrative purposes only as I'll be having a Record aero post with the shield engraving.
Decided I couldn't live with the awful lining so thanks to the orange paint being very poor quality it was no match for sandpaper, a miniature screwdriver, a drawing pin for the poky bits and the resolve to spend a while scraping it all off. Thoroughly enjoyed it though.
And Record cranks to replace the Athena which I'll sell soon enough. Shamals are about paid for thanks to Hilly Ben accepting dole money adds up to installments only. Next to arrive from its lonely voyage all the way from Australia is a single SLX decal.
