Martins Projects - Merckx Domo Frites, Hetchins Italia and Olmo Super Gentleman

If it is GS, then that's fine. It cost me £5 and is in next to mint condition. One day it'll be full super rec, but until then

Finally... ordered these last night...

^ That's amazing
Is the chainring Gipiemme?

Campag Record crank arms, and I believe Super record rings, if not nuovo... but look super to me?

Ace!

It came!
Will try and fit this evening and get some photos uploaded. I've also glued the tubs now so it's coming together

Niceeeeee

Fitted the crankset and the wheels. Very pleased with the cranks.
Wheels are Record hubs with Mavic GP4, first attempt at gluing Tubs.. not 100% but hey.
Front and Rear mech on too.
Now need to source a chain, Hilarystone is looking the best option right now, and I need some dustcaps for the cranks if anyone has any lying around...

This could be going into forums favourite bikes. Disgustingly good.

Cheers man!
Bar tape and cables went on tonight... weather dependant I'll try and get some daylight shots of it tomorrow.

it's coming along wonderfully!

Got it outside for a few snaps. Apologies for the poor quality, camera is on the spritz!

My exact first thought when I saw those photos

Thanks man, been a long project!

You nearly there ,looking nice

What tyres are they?

Challenge Strada Tubs

only come in 25mm unfortunately, think they do an open tubular version too?

Brilliant bike! I have almost the same one, also yellow benotto and a brown regal!

Very nice. The bars need to be rotated a bit more tho so that the bar ends are horizontal with the ground for that classic look :0)

Cheers guys! yeah you're right, there was something annoying me and now you mention it, it's that ha!

I don't think they need to be 100% parallel to the ground for a classic look though. These are turned upwards a little bit too much indeed :)

Beautiful bike, wished my olmo leader would progress as quickly haha.

Nice work! Excited to see it when finished.

Got a NOS Regina Gran Sport chain on the Bay last night. £10 inc postage. Bargainous. Should get this finished at the weekend...

Thanks to the guys at @SeaBassCycles for checking this over this week and helping me out.
It's now finished, just taken the pedals off at the moment to store it better.
Can safely say its the last time I'll go full panto as its taken almost 2 years to source all the parts at a price I was willing to pay... overall I'm real happy though. Can't take it out just yet due to injury but hopefully in next few weeks it'll be buzzing around south london
