WOW! just WOW!
A small teaser but so much to see, love it! I am really liking the decal on top of the top tube. Looking forward to seeing more

Cheers Jamie, you must have eagle eyes to see the name decal!
More photos to come, just waiting on a long (2”) stem clamp bolt and a 145mm bottom bracket, both of which won’t be arriving till after I’m off on my hols so I won’t be able complete till the last week of August!

Ooh shiny, my inner Magpie is stirring already, can't wait to see the finished thing in all it's Gallic glory.

For the Magpies……
Not really a sticker that would have been used, but as this BB shell is Nervex and the sticker is red & blue, I couldn’t resist adding it to the H Lloyd basket!

Looking VERY classy indeed!

Last night’s work;
C5 TDC BB axle and cups fitted, cotter pins fettled, Nervar Sport 155 assembled.

Busy weekend, but got a few bits progressed….
Legrandfromage’s crayons are still coming in useful….
The Leotards have been striped cleaned re-greased and matched with period correct-ish( 70’s) Christophe clips. Not repros.

The Pelissier bars made from Reynolds Hiduminium tubing are cleaning up well and are beautifully balanced, but with no bulge in the middle I’m having to wait for a shim to arrive before I can mount them. (originally, they had foil tape making up the difference!) :shock:

 

[Peachy!]

Not sure what saddle to mount…. Go for the colour coordination or the classic brooks?

Weinmann’s started off pretty rough with black paint and I think blood on them. :shock:
Good old MAAS polish has worked wonders.
