blimey! what a peach!
where did you get that?!
what plans do you have for this one?

Lemond titanium now sold and NOS master olympic on it's way soon

double post

found it for sale in france
been hanging in my garage for the last 4 months tempting me, 9 speed campag for this one (again) got a small pile of parts ready just waiting for me to find the misplaced BB

wow, looks beautiful

parts that have already winged their way through my door over the last couple of months

NOS Chorus cranks and front mech
NOS T.A. blue chainrings, Festina team issue
NOS Chorus 9 sp ergo's and 3TTT bars
Flite Ti saddle, Look Ti stem and Syncros Ti post

maybe that's enough titanium for one build

this is turning out to be one of the most fantastic road builds I've seen. EVER I can't wait to see it when it's done. I can't imagine where you're getting all this team stuff from.

This bike is going to be a stunner - can't wait for updates

I agree, this is going to be one fine build when complete.
Keep the updates coming, I'm sure you have more than a few people watching with anticipation

cheers all, will do
the TA rings are currently on Ebay if you're in the market for blue chainrings

I thought the blue chainrings were a good match for the frame. I might have a punt on them myself.

Mark.

i spoke to soon
at the back of the garage i found a Ti cassette in need of some tlc (loose rivets) and a pair of Record brakes,
i've also taken delivery of a pair of Veloflex Masters....nice!

35MPH!

the last 6 weeks have provided....
indecision and procrastination over headsets--i finally gave in and fitted the almost new Miche from my Peugeot, its far from brilliant, i give it 4/10 for operation and maybe 4 months before it's total trash.
frustration at missing multiple rear mechs on ebay--Grrrr- but luckly i've found all the missing parts from a 90's Chorus mech on my Garage floor, search over for now.
and one pair of puuuurrfect Record mk1 8 sp Ergos--thanks to Pete mcc, top class, i'll have to convert these to 9's at some point.

almost done now

looking forward to seeing completed pictures!
