Me too

Cranks and front derailleur on at last. The 119mm BB was still just too short so the right choice for the hordes of you who want to make this exact frame/crank combo work is 122.5mm.

Pedals are back together with some new Christophe straps to tie into the red on the frame logos.



Need to find a matching Campag dustcap for the nds at some point, and probably some L clips instead of these M.

I'm away at the moment. I think I've got a spare cap. Yours for post if I have.

Looking good!

I’ve struggled in the past to find large toe clips. I just made up some blocks to space them forward by 10mm. I don’t think I’ve got a picture unfortunately.

Edging ever closer.



Brakes are cabled up.



Bit of a wait while I hunted down the correct quick release hanger for the rear brake but I found one eventually. The chrome is just about hanging in there and it looks alright after a rub down.

Nice project and a good read, looking forward to seeing this one finished.

First test ride today; the clamp for the seatpost slipped a bit and needed cranking down really tight. I need do some tweaks to get the rear shifting better; the gap between the top pulley and the sprocket is pretty large and seems to make for slow shifts. In general it rides well and is comfortable even though its the top end of frame sizes I can ride. The range gaps between gears are huge!

Bar wrap and bottle cage still to go on and then it's there.

Bar tape is done



Sneak peek of the almost finished article.

Just need the bottlecage, a last gearing fettle and I need to swap in some matched inner tubes.

That looks splendid. Good job
