Had been looking for these sr bars to go with the stem for a while. While one side is heavily scratched i didnt mind too much as they were cheap.
However shortly after i picked up these nitto b123 bars and technomic stem for £22. Not really sure if i would want to leave these locked up or not. While they are very nice i might also save for another build, cant really decide.
Also got the front wheel ready to roll.

Haha cheers. Postman brought some goodies earlier. Had been searching for some cheapish gumwall tyres and found the Michelin tyres x2 for £20. Thought id go with the michelin tubes aswell as they were on sale.
Just waiting for rear spokes and then can finish the wheels. Not sure about the 16t sprocket anymore as had been riding 46-16 for years an fancy a change.
SR Royal crank arms after some polishing.

Bit of a parts update!
SR stem after polishing, probably needs a bit more time spent on it.
Quite worn SR track pedals, just waiting for some new clips and straps.
Sugino Mighty seatpost, needs deanodizing and polishing. Although may stick a sr laprade post on there instead and save the sugino for another build.
Sugino 46t chainring.
May end up using a campag nuovo record 45t cant really decide.

Already had some miche primato hubs so thought they would be nice on some h+sons tb14 rims. Just waiting for the spokes for the rear and rim tape/tubes.

I acquired this frame sometime ago and have taken quite a liking to it over the other frames i currently have. The frame has columbus tubing and a saba bottom bracket shell, as far as im aware it was made by ciocc for peracinni.
The forks had a very small amount of thread on the steerer as they had been cut so had to get the thread extended. Was quite a fair few spots on the paintwork also which had been touched up and also needed doing. I had been buying some frames recently to replace a gazelle which ive decided to hang on the wall due to a cracked headtube lug. Since i had a bit of a mish mash selection of parts on that ride i thought id slowly purchase some select pieces for the peracinni.
Since taking those pictures ive had the steerer extended and attached a headset. Will post some better images online tomorrow.
Planning on using japanese components, pretty much all sr royal / sugino where possible. Mostly used parts which will be bought reasonably cheap.
Had picked up some sr royal crankarms and fluted style stem recently.

The break down picture you linked is whats wrong with so many bike shops nowadays imo. Yes supporting your local shop is great but seriously... its not even about me not liking there prices at all, its more shocking they can charge people that kind of money for the product an service they provided.
Originaly bought from pedalpedlar, have acquired few too many frames and not even built this one up since buying it.
