I was hoping to have this finished today but the steerer tube was cut at an angle by someone and the first 7mm's of the thread on steerer was f****d and I dont have a die for that size and had to "chase" it with a fine file and file the top level. Got left with just enough thread for the Chorus headset, maybe 1-2 threads not in on the locknut.
And the hubs I'm planning on using needed service and the end of the rear axle needed the thread chased.
I washed the frame as it had some tape residue and lots of baked dirt and grease and then after I waxed it.
The headset is in and the BB, a later sealed Veloce.
I also cleaned the brakes and derailleurs and filed some of the rash of the RD. I still need to sand and polish the filed spots.
Should I use white Turbo and white bar tape or just go with black saddle and tape and save the white tape for the Santini? The hoods for the Chorus levers are black.
