Well - I have finished building my Orange Dynamo in retro-sympathetic style in poor weather trim and I am about to finish my Bridgestone RB-1.
I can't wait to ride the Bridgestone: I have nearly finished buying up a complete '02 Dura Ace 7700 groupset (just the hubs left to find) and I dropped the frame off at Bob Jackson yesterday. It is returning painted white. Finishing kit is Nitto bars and stem (but I kind of want a Dura Ace stem), Brooks Swallow saddle and bar tape and a Miche Supertype seatpost. I'm also having the looped cable guides removed and some slotted ones brazed-on.
(I did intend to add this to the "Lets see those retro roadbikes" thread but apparently it wasn't to be, and as a thread this seems kind of threadbare...maybe I'll up a pic of the Dynamo later...)
