Saw this on eBay last week and thought it looked a fun frameset with some nice features. Monostay rear end, chromed straight forks, mavic headset and some lugless joints.
Got it yesterday and not sure which way to take it in the short term but longer term I think it'll be a 1x8 8 speed with Shimano 600 bits. Just need to source a decent pair of wheels/tyres for it as I have shifters, mechs and brakes.
Had a Syntace 1" stem and some cut up bars which work quite well, alongside some bar-end levers. Gearing (for the time being) will be a single speed with a gear inch of around 81 - 53/17 or 44/14 depending on what parts I use.
Not too much to finish on it this week - fit front brake cable, chain, give it a good clean and take it for a spin. So it's wearing the contents of my parts bin but starting to look quite nice, and also looks quite fast!
