Had this lying in the cellar for far too long.
Time to build it up again.
Got an old set of Mavic Ellipse wheels.. Need to see what else I can find in the parts box!

That's the most 70s champion mondial I've ever seen. Looking forward to the build!

Black colourways look so good on CM's

Pretty pleased with the build (shout out to Alex @ Dead Rats Cycles in MCR)
Only thing I'm not about is the stem - looks a bit too chunky for the frame?
Was thinking of getting one of these.. looks like it might suit a steel frame slightly better - https://velo-orange.com/products/vo-tall-stack-threadless-stem-31-8-rise

Well, you have my approval :)
Bet you're having a lot of fun riding it. That VO stem looks pretty decent for an ahead on a classic frame.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
