Still searching for the last bits...

In the meantime, the modern Tiagra brakes just looked wrong to me and ruined the 80s/90s theme so i've sourced the correct 1055 brakes to match the rest of the group set.
Also arrived in the post were new shiny dropout screws with original campag springs, note campy drop outs
As it's been sitting around longer than expected I've been doing some thinking about the condition of the frame. I looked into most possibilities but i've decided as it's served me so well that for the most part, i'll leave it alone. What i am doing is going carefully going over the frame with some Jenolite rust remover and if bare metal comes through i'll use a little grey zinc primer to keep it descent. Lastly it'll get a wax polish to protect it and get back some shine.
