spent a bit of time with the paint restorer, autosol and mothers polish + wet and dry...
looking a bit more respectable now, so can plan what to build it with - this frame dates from mid 90s AFAIK so was thinking something like similar age 10 speed campy groupset - Athena, Chorus, Centaur maybe
Oooh, that's come up lovely! I'm a big fan of Dave's handiwork (I'm local to him) - his earlier frames are all lovely in my opinion (less so the modern factory made stuff)
assembled some parts for a fitting exercise - Mirage 9 speed mechs and braking with Veloce crankset, all of these are well used and will need some cleaning and polishing
thankfully steerer and seatpost are standard sizes so parts bin comes to the rescue yet again,
not much clearance on frames of this era so will be 700x25C or narrower as I also want to try to get some slender mudguards in there as this is supposed to be an audax style build and the frame + forks have eyelets, so why not?
next tasks involve plenty of mothers polish I reckon.
also need to find period campy square taper BB with english threads, hopefully a lightweight one with any luck
more anon....
