Excellent. Pm on way

You can easily stretch out the rear. I did it on mine. Its amazing how much steel will take. A length if threaded rod with 2 large washers and nuts. Gently wind out the rear end. Keep releasing and checking measurement. Avoid stressing the gear hanger and finally check wheel alignment.

I'm just impressed you found a quick link solution to the Campag C9 chain.

That's absolutely brilliant drystonepaul! My first MTB was the DB Ascent EX you have there. The Holdsworth too, with the 42:16 is very encouraging, because I'm using a 43:17 set up. I've kept the moving parts to 1/8 specific with an Izumi track chain, Halo Fat Foot and Velo Solo front ring. I...

Any NOS out there. E.g MA2 or MA40 Used ones OK if nearly new condition. Eyeletted please.

Any new ones out there? Preferably Silver (eg MA2) Clinchers Eyeletted 36 hole Used ones welcome if nearly new. Thanks All

Are the jockey wheels compatible with other dérailleurs? Purple is Out for me.

Excellent. I bought a Roy Thame 4 years ago. He built the Holdsworth team bikes. My frame set turned out to be a special order tube set for Ciöcc cycles. When Ciöcc got sold on Giovanni Pelizzoli, the founder, passed on some of the tube sets to Roy Thame. Research is half the fun of a build.

Excellent recommendation.

I've ordered a ZTTO tensioner to try out. The half link method sounds good except I'll be running an Izumi 'jet black' chain which has gold pins. Where would I get a march for that 1/2"? Ive had ZTTO bits before. Made somewhere in China, but the CNC work looks good. Can't get any other colour...

I may go for a tensioner in the future, but for this build it would spoil the aesthetic.
