First question... should this be in the Readers' Road Bikes or Retro Road Classics forums? I prefer the name of this one. So stuck this here.
So this is possibly not for the purists due to the mix of components / eras and being a conversion. But what with it being a conversion, I think that's okay, as it's immediately not faithful! Aimed to build something 'sympathetic' rather than precise. In style terms, that always seems most important and preferential to me - allows some slack from overly fastidious parts hunting! And Curbs the OCD!
Ill stick details parts below for those interested in such things.
This is my first post here of anything I've put together so feel free to let it rip!
