I bought this frame restored earlier this year and now I have started to buy parts for it.
the D/T decals have been mis-applied I think - too close together but apart from that it seems to be in good order.
the frame has none of the usual braze on so either they have been skillfully removed or it was ordered that way and was always a racing frameset.
I can't work out what the brazeon's on the rear seat stays are meant to be though or that hole on the DS rear dropout (the photo's don't show this but it is circular like it is meant for a mech hanger or something like that).
I have a Renoylds 531 stem and Renoylds bars that are awfully narrow and a challanging shape, may have to change these. The hubs are Solite 32F/40R (fixed). I plan to lace them to tubula rims possibly wooden ones. Tyres will be challange strada Bianca 30mm because the are comfortable, don't puncture (have 3600km on the clinchers without issue flat) and they have a tan side wall which I like.
Looking for a period seatpost, pedals, brakes and brake levers. I have a bid on a Williams C34 chainset and will need to find a good BB for it. I will use a Books saddle possibly a new one.
Looking forward to riding it.
