^ ha, I do what i can.
Well, as promised, here's a mockup (excuse the background, the bedroom is a current project, too)
The fork is a kinesis, though haven't seen a straight one before, and is quite tatty. As for the build, considering my quite restricted budget on this, the parts I've aquired so far are mainly quality bits with lots of patina (read: beater condition).
The cockpit is a cinelli xa +cinelli la84
The cranks are 151bcd-era campag strada, well, at least the driveside one. (If anybody has a matching 170mm left crank for a reasonable price ,let me know.)
The front wheel is a 650c wolber clincher to a miche hub for time being, I'm on the lookout for a hard anodized mavic clincher rim with virgin braking surfaces.
The rear will be a minty mavic open s.u.p (precursor of open pro, from what I gathered) laced to a hub yet undecided.
as for ass-cockpit I've got a black (going to strip the ano when the time comes) thomson elite and will probably settle for a flite.
