New here so any advice or opinions welcome.
Just started this rebuild. Had the frame made for me in 1985, original spec was typical 80s road racer - white turbo saddle, GP4 rims, Cinelli 65 bars, 1R stem, Mavic SSC derailleurs, Look clip in pedals. Other parts were a mixture of whatever I could find.
Frame is 531 Pro and the forks were 531. Chromed Campag dropouts with chromed rear stay. Rear brake cable goes through top tube which at the time was a relatively new feature I think.
Plan is to have the frame renovated at BR and to get the rest of the stuff as original as possible. Already have bars, stem and rims. Sourcing some Campag SR derailleurs but not sure what else would suit.
Also, what's the general opinion on "new old stock" parts? Have heard mixed reports and they seem way over priced.
Cheers
James
