Nice photos of a beautiful frame. This builds gonna be fast I can tell already.

Would you be interested in a Mavic 700c tubular rim to match the front for £5?Decent condition light brake marks.

Hi BigH
Thanks but Not sure what I'm doing yet re wheels -it's going to be a very slow build as busy with loads of other stuff aswell.
It's on the back burner at the mo
Cheers

Hi, beautiful frame saw it on the bay, from what I remember it was 53cm ST (I think thats right) is that going to be a bit small for you?

Andy

Hi Andy
Yes its 53st 53.5 tt I'm quite happy with a slightly smaller lo pro as the bars tend to be quite long. Most modern frames have very short seat tubes (my Wilier is about 51 with a 56 tt)
So I just move the saddle back 1cm and bars forward 1cm and job done.
The saddle tip to bar centre at stem with saddle in mid clamp is 55cm so pretty much ok without too much adjusting.
I also like a slightly rearward saddle as I run 175 cranks.
I'd keep the frame even if a tad small as it is mint condition and so minimalist . Also very light esp for a lo pro -I reckon on sub 7.5kg finished.
Cheers

The FIR disc you have will look stunning against the white frame looking forward to seeing it finished

White on white could also be possible -

White zipps ftw mate.

Nice pics and Chick BigH -I had a Chick regular frame. I'm going for lightness on this build and I'm thinking single chainring 56 tooth Dura ace or 600 chainset, these wheels which are light.
Rolls and pmp seatpost?
Not found out year of manufacture yet so stuff will have to be age correct give or take

Big H - frame is 1992-3 bought new by previous owner and I have a pic of him doing a tt on it which I will put up here when I get permission.

Just bought some brakes -CLB Professionnel (198 grammes pair) .

Woahh! Beautifully built.

...apart from that ring that looks like a 42t, any reason?

It's a 38 - for hills! The freewheel is at the moment a Dura Ace straight thru 12-18 but I will swap for a 12-21. I like lo pros for hills - and this one is not too heavy at 7.7kg

Im with breso too, needs a black dura ace 50-53 up front. Very beautifull build though, im kinda kicking myself for not snapping it up on ebay prob be a bit too small for me tbh.
Got a very special 24" front wheel stuck in customs atm that woulda looked sweet on this.

Need to take snaps of our lo-pros together at some point soon.

Ill leave this here too

Hi BigH
Thanks for the input - I have a 54 for it but I want to use it on some hills as soon as salt is gone from roads hence the 38.
Yeh we can hook up for some snaps of the Shrubbs keep in touch

Swapped out the cranks for Dura Ace 7410 180mm in as new condition with titanium BB bolts. Waiting for Dura ace 14 -26 freewheel to arrive.
Thanks to J4ck1987 got the front Mavic gl330 which I had on the Nickson back and now front matches back perfectly .
