The cranks are now both polished with the logos removed, and the seatpost and saddle added. I have a tendency to have slightly smaller frames than might be ideal, aesthetically at least, though I've always found they ride fine for me. This a 56cm and a 58 is more my size, but I guess I have longish legs because even on my bigger frames I have a fair bit of seatpost showing. Even so, this bike has surprised me with how long the post has to be to be correct for me; it is bordering on indecent for many, I'm sure. Luckily I bought a long post, so there's still lots inside the frame here.
Annoyingly I've had to pause the build at this point because the Campagnolo gear cable outers I bought ages ago are odd sizes, where two of the pre-cut outers are far too short to actually use for anything other than the part to the RD. So, I need to get some more outer cable, which is in fact not so easy to get in white and of course costs about 4x as much as other cables, but that's Campagnolo for you, I guess.
I bought two Condor bottles before I even started work on this bike because they were on sale at the time. Now, looking at it, I wonder if my paint colour decision was influenced by wanting the bottles to match, which would really be the wrong way round, but I wouldn't rule it out...
