Some time ago forum members kindly gave me some advice on whether to get a new bike or 'upgrade' my GFs 25+ year old Clubman. I decided to keep the Clubman and wanted to share a few pictures of the results with anyone who is interested.
It's a bit of a 'Heinz 57' with regards to parts which I'm sure is not the done thing, but after replacing many bits with a selection of Campag stuff (mainly from eBay) I am really pleased with the result and it rides really well.
The front and rear mechs and shifters, etc (Campag 950) are original from the bike as is the wheels, seatpost, mudguards and handlebars, etc. However I did replace the bottom bracket for a Campag one which has made a massive difference.
The brake calipers took a bit of work to fit as I didn't want to drill the frame but I sorted it in the end. Hope people like it...
