More goodies arrived this week, firstly a Campagnolo 7 speed freewheel, OK not original to the bike but I’ve wanted one since a kid. The original Sachs has been cleaned up and will be kept.
Secondly the new decals which have been made to exactly match the originals by Nick at H Lloyd Cycles, the Reynolds 753r are NOS as Nick has a large stash given he is the authorised agent for Reynolds.
I took the frame to Nick and he took copies of the decals and matched the colours so they are exact. Great service well recommended. http://www.hlloydcycles.com/page6.htm
Only thing now is for the frame to come back from being re-chromed apparently its 4 weeks off, return of the saddle, and then I can get it built up. 6 weeks and I should be done, question is what then?
