Eek, my first build thread (I think)… Early 90s Van Tuyl Dutch crosser

Ages ago I picked up a cheap Reynolds 531 Dutch CX bike that had seen better days and then when it had hit rock bottom had a relapse!

Plan was/ is to build a kind of cross bike with bar end shifters to do gravelly type stuff.

As I’m mildly obsessed with Dutch bikes I thought I’d do a kind of Ross van den Shafer Salsa A La Carte homage using the colours of the flag of the Netherlands and orange decals for the older tradition…
