Thanks, I really appreciate that. Like I mentioned, it would have been trickier without your help with the decal sizes. I’m glad I did include the fork decals in the end, it does seem appropriate for a ‘racy’ looking bike like this one.

Fantastic story and lovely bike, thanks for sharing.
I have a 1980’s Condor which I will get round to restoring soon. It’s genuine, with pantographing everywhere, but has no frame number which baffled the staff at Condor when I contacted them for build details!
FWIW, those Campagnolo triple mechs are worth their weight in gold if you are like me and want individualised gearing. Unlike most Shimano stuff they are not fussy about chainring sizes and combinations. I’ve used Campag triple mechs on double and triple bikes - even with Shimano shifters - and they are perfectly happy.
