Re:
Thanks for the kind comments folks!
The garden has taken over pretty much all of my Retrobike/garage time for last year or so. Got about another years worth of work to do with planting etc. The reward will be a man cave at the end where I can tinker with my bikes and look at the view.
Re the Le Tech mechs - the front works a bit like the Shimano Rapidrise system. By this I mean the cable tension is increased when you shift to the granny ring. It is sprung to sit on the outer front ring when not under tension. So far I haven’t been able to get it under enough tension to shift to the granny ring despite adjusting the limit screws and cable tension. Rear mech works really well, set up very easy. So some fettling to do, also need to set up the brakes properly before my first ride out.

Some updated photos with correct GTV seat fitted and at the right angle - did I really take a photograph with it pointing to the sky like that! A comfortable ride, haven’t gone far on this, will change to some tyres I don’t mind using up for when the weather is a bit nicer.

Epic! Muddy fox certainly pulled out every stop with this model. I think the only other brazed MF I've seen was the Ltd edition late 80s one with gold Suntour xc9000. This one is nicer!
