Hi J
June's not a good month for projects around here, i get distracted by a silly 24hr race in northern France
the Merckx is not yet completed but i have had a couple of short rides, its suffering with unwanted transmission noise, i've checked the mech hanger, that's straight but that's as far as i got.
borrowed the 8 sp Cosmics off my Daccordi (it's been mothballed) till i go 9 speed, i better hurry up, my next (LAST) project is waiting

wow, that is one seriously stylish machine and uber rare too i should think.
I prefer the black/gumwall tyres than the red veloflex.
Do tell what the "last " project is :)
