^Thanks. Not into carbon myself yet. Maybe one day, just maybe…
I've been reading a very interesting PDF on Osgear that The Bonk kindly passed to me.Thanks.
I fitted the drivetrain. Williams C1200 chainset, Bayliss Wiley Featherweight bottom bracket cups and number 14 axle.
The axle is a number 14 which gives me a very good chain line with the middle sprocket.
Lyotard 45 Ter pedals. Found a 1938 Brothers Catalogue on Classic Lightweights and were sold as a Duraluminum Track pedal. The lightest as used in the Tour the France. I'll service them and fit the missing dust cap that I just managed to get.
NOS Binda straps and Lapize toe clips.
I've tested the Osgear but it needs fine tuning as I had to go over each hole with the shifter for it to change properly and then go back to rest properly. Still need to get my head around this a bit and might shorten the chain and see if this improve shifting.
