The cranks have now been changed out for a more period correct Xtr set , but not content with that , I finally decided to ditch the heavy commuter wheels in favour of a more sporting non period set of yellow mavics, and continental tyres
Still need to finish off the rear mech and fit, but in the meantime I had a play and fitted the mavic wheels with continental nobbly tyres, have to say I forgot how nice this bike looks
That's coming on really well, I like your approach to the rebuild and IMO you'll finish up with an original bike which will probably become your favourite rider. Amazing work on the
mech BTW - my efforts in that direction are limited to refitting the pivot bolt on an STX mech. But now you have inspired me to take it a step (or four) further
