Today, I should have been out for the monthly ride with my local coffee, cake and bike shop - the HuB, Redbourn (hubcoffeebikes.com or @thehubmeister22) riding this. As it was I was forbidden by the Doc as i'm suffering with a chest infection so I trued these wheels instead (which is a palaver as tyres, tubes and rim tape all have to come off).
After a number of years not riding regularly I built the bike for the London to Brighton last year (hence its name - 'The L2B Real Steel Special'). It is based around a Reynolds 531C frameset - originally 'Ribble' branded (I included a 'Ribble' decal behind the seat post in the same style as the main down-tube). Campagnolo Chorus 8 speed ergo groupset and I think everything else is pretty obvious.
Size is 58.5cm and I must be an odd shape because the right Campy aero seatposts aren't long enough for me - can't remember what this seatpost is but it took a while to find it. The 130mm Cinelli stem looks odd but fits me just fine. (I am about 5Ft 11ish with long legs).
Cheers, Guy.
