Pursuit of the Pursuit: Concorde to Aende Lo pro

Hopefully soon getting cranks and pedals (for christmas probs). It turns out Hilary stone does pattern shimano clips for £10 a set so might also get spares.

Wheel has arrived - from @Rik_Van_Looy :

on the bike:

yum.

Glad it's gone to a good home!

loving the bars

Thanks

so tried on a rear wheel (purely for the black not the gears-as I'm sure many of you will be disappointed yo hear). I think its all looking pretty nice though may have dug myself into a hole in trying to look for a reasonable wheel to match the front one. The clearances are looking pretty tight as well and I've only now really stated to admire the fishnet paintwork.

Crank, pedals, toe clips and additional chainring have arrived frome Hilary Stone but can't see them till Christmas day.

Good progress!
Make sure to level the saddle, you might fall off...

Thanks. That seat post is only temporary and I could be bothered to tighten it too much so its just slipping about now. Only gonna put the new post in when the bike grease arrives.

Parts received. Tomorrow I will take some pictures when it's sunny. I do have a spare chainring, 54T, that I might keep but am not really in need of.

So the next steps:
1) get a rear hub
2) get BB and install it and the crank.
3) get rest of wheel built up.

So opened my christmas presents yesterday and sure enough I found:

SR royal crankset + royce 48T chainring:

Shimano aero pedals + unknown brand pattern toe clips:

Sorry for the pretty awful pictures. I think I'll have to start using a real camera soon in place of my phone's camera.
Still on the lookout for a (campag preferably) track rear hub before I go about installing the bb and cranks.
I want to clean them a bit but not entirely sure how to go about it. I also have a spare 54 chainring (on the SR cranks), so if anyone is interested.

So I think the way I'm gonna go with this is to use some oven cleaner to remove the anadoising in the cranks and then use wet and dry sanding to polish them off.

I don't have any experience with this kind of thing so does anyone have any tips from experience or anything really?

Don't use oven cleaner, just sand it off.
Start with 400 grit sandpaper, then 1000, then 1500, then polish and rag.
Autolsol seems to be a decent enough polish.

So you can just sand the anadosing off and then polish it with autolsol.

Thanks

OK big question:

White or black toe straps?

you mean white or pink?

white - to match the tape and saddle.

Yeah. I'll give the pink tape a go once its fully functional.

Yeah, I thought white would be the better. Is that the general consensus.

Got some sanding done today but not much.

The difference is clearest at the pedal end of the crankarm.
I also tried filling in the logo with paint. I'm pretty happy with it though not sure whether to keep it as it does detract from the campag record pista look of the crank.

love the paint on concordes

Yeah, I live the scale affact. Its so cool. But should I keep it the paint on the crank. Yes/no?

It'll fill up with black gunk when you polish the crank anyway! Good luck with sanding/polishing the fluting in the crank, it takes ages......

looks good to me. I wouldn't fuss about it til you've stripped all the ano

Ok yeah. And the fluting is a pain all I have to use is this sponge type sanding thing (you can probably tell I don't do much of this kind of thing).

I'll go out and buy the polish and finer grit sand paper sometime - though not soon due to THE MOCKS.
