Thanks for taking the time to read the blog, it just helps to keep me focussed and to fill in the gaps I found when I was doing my research so that others have a reference with some fact surrounded by a whole lot of waffle!
Items arriving in a slow steady stream but am happy with them all so far. Just a little bit of polish here and there but all will come good.
Very happy with the wheels, which are courtesy of Tel, and a fresh set of tubes and rubber they are looking good.
Although the wheels are ready to be popped on the frame but it is being held up by not having the forks or headset yet. Forks being posted to me today and Campag Record headset and Cable Set still in My Basket at Parkers Int. Just a couple more pounds needed
Bike assembly has started today with the Campy Record Headset arriving in the post this morning. Money still has not permitted me buying the cable set yet and no sign of the forks yet but I couldn't sit twiddling my thumbs.
So the Headset cups have been inserted using the homebrew method of threaded bar, washers and nuts. The cups dropped in like a charm!
I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come with this build
Just a brief note to let you know that I have not given up on the build I am just waiting for seatpost and cables to arrive and have reached the stage where I do not want to photograph until complete.
