...not so much of a build in the true sense, more like deep clean, replace a few parts with original spec and clean and lubricate everything:
starting point post collection (from Mike on this forum - thanks Mike for preserving this lovely and unique bike):
non original Power Torque ( ughhh!) Campy chainset and a few other heavy and clunky parts here but a very sound condition overall for a 1990 frameset that is apparently 1 of only 5 that Paul Donohue built out of Reynolds 2000 butted titanium tubing.
some cleaning and fettling to do:
nice wheelset from Pete Matthews in Liverpool , plus Campy record titanium which isn't that common and has survived well.
First job is to remove the Campy Power Torque Chainset and BB which is always a collossal struggle to pull the LH crank off the splined hollow axle monstrosity - why on earth Campagnolo thought this was a good design to replace square taper I will never know...
