Just finished this up, thought I would share:

It's a 74 JT curved tube setup for TT. Originally belonged to an Ex Masi USA employee, but I had a frame he wanted a bit more!

Made a couple of changes since the pic. New saddle, Chisel Pro with no cover, came in at about 180g, not bad for a 70's saddle. Plus I profiled the stronglight arms and milled the rears- lighter than TA:

and did my first Drillium ring:

Which didn't make the photos.

Peter Underwood posted it to his site with specs:

Onto the next one, 1986 Sean Kelly KAS Replica!
 
That is an amazing build! All period correct (do I spy a sealed bb?)

Lovely, thanks for sharing :D
 
That's a new one on me :) I TT'd in the 70's and we all followed Engers, Cottington, Queen etc.

None had Curvey seat tubes :)

Thanks!

And yes, you do. Second Generation Phil Wood circa 1973 with alloy retainer rings. Similar to this one, but slightly earlier:
