Re: Re:

Am I turning into an anorak? Or a tart?

Mike

Probably both!

Thanks!

A tartorak!

I can work it, still don't hang around. Now, where did I put my fake tan? :roll:

Re:

Frame and forks arrived at work today, paint on frame is a bit tatty but the pearl colour is just beautiful.
Should I REALLY get a re-finish? Or just touch up the numerous marks on it?
Forks look to be in great condition too and the style compliments the frame nicely I think. Will get it home tomorrow, then I'll be able to show you pics then.
Frame number is 60e5895. I am assuming that means 60cm, not sure about the 'e', and made on the 5th August 1995?

Re:

The eagle has landed!



Is it an eagle? More pics,





Had some parts arrive today,



A clue as to what I shall be using for the build.



Unfortunately, looks a bit dark, although I haven't looked at it against frame yet. May end up with Cinelli cork.

Oh yes, and this also arrived ,



Briko sunglasses on their way too :facepalm: Guess I am a tartorak!

Re: Mike's next bike : Bianchi TSX

looks decent enough to not need a strip and respray.

Re:

Yes, I'm kind of thinking that myself. Just lots of little niggly bits. I do have some touch up paint on the way which should help too.
I'll give it a t-cut to try and remove some of the marks. Looks to be chrome all over, under the paint.
Feels quite light, although I haven't weighed it yet.
