Im liking this, couple of confirmation points, the tricolour tape was only used that year on Bastille Day though I think you know that, and...Fignon was old school and if you look carefully he didnt use c-record gear levers but simplex retrofriction, these were much superior, (I know I used them in races!) and wernt prone to slippage on high strain, and campag didnt do indexing at that time, but when they did later that year it was crap (i used those too for a short time too!). Hilary Stone has a mint pair of simplex levers for £32, Ive just picked up the other pair he had for my vitus/mavic SSC build. Keep up the good work, great to see a build taking shape and the appropriate attention to detail,

Not yet, frame is on its way so build should start late next week, I'll post as I go along. Actually while Im thinking about it, does anyone know what type of toeclips Kelly used in his KAS/Vitus/Mavic years?
Now, all these stickers are printed on transparent vinyl with a clear protective layer overlaid. This will of course make them waterproof. The bottle stickers wrap around the complete bottle. Obviously if the bottle is used, the fact that you are putting the bottle into the cage and taking it out will wear down the sticker and it may well rip. I don't know, never tried this before. But if you just want them for show then I suppose they look great. In my opinion anyway. Ha Ha....And just for good measure here is a picture of the great man himself using one of my bottles
