And test ridden, not bad at all, it was blowing a gale so not a pleasant ride but really happy with the fit and performance. Better tyres needed for summer I think.
After swapping out the wheels and chainset I think I'm done for now, it's deffo on the retro side of retromod, I plan to rebuild the wheels in the new year with polished hplus son archetype rims and stainless spokes.
I've got a not a Brian rourke I'm planning on doing a gentlemans shopper with, flat bars guards and a rack for practicality. A whole new sub genre of bike building 😊
Very nice. I'd suggest that's actually a carlton giro d italia, the lugs are slightly different on the pro, still one of Carltons finest. Lovely build.
Started the build. It's a retromod. So ultegra and 105 10 speed with cinelli bar and stem and shimano post. Black tape and perhaps yellow cables to pull it all together. Wheels may change but these do suit with their red and white decals.
