Mr. C's classic contraptions: Chick, De Rosa, Speedwell

Thanks Rodolfo.

I am now sure the bike is an early Speedwell (seatcluster). It was built before 76, so this defines the parts that I will use.

Other changes:

• I carefully reamed the forks to get the stem in smoother and lower, also took a washer out of the headset. Looks much better.
  
• TA cranks now fitted.
  
• Took the frontwheel of my blue chick to see how it will look like with 2 or10 rims (not convinced).
  
• Changed saddle to selle milano touriste supperleggero (looks better I think).
  
  

To Do:

• get rid of the campa headset and BB
  
• find 111 OMAS TI bb axle to fit TA cranks
  
• fit OMAS BB
  
• fit NOS OMAS alloy seatbinder bolt.
  
• get TI bolts for the seatpost plua a small one for the stem. Get alloy wedge for the Stem
  
• get period correct super light track Pedals.
  
• get period correct light track chain.
  
• sort the wheels out (period correct and light, no idea what I should use. There is a nice pair of omas/nisi wheels on the bay but they are quite expensive...)
  
• decide on headset: the grey Stronglight below (middle) or get an OMAS. From what I can see Stronglight A9s did exist in 75 but I don^t know if that is true about the
  version i have, which is the only one of that kind i have ever seen, kind of like a mix of a9 and b10, called A9e (xtralight). If anybody knows anything give me a shout. I
  would like to use it as it is 25grams lighter than the omas superlight.
