Looks good...
Next question.......Does it ride like a dream?
Or to stressed after the build, to ride it. .

Hey nice job! Really like that gold bartape...
I too am intrigued to hear how it rides.

I always wanted one of these since I saw Sean Kelly riding one in the mid-1980s.

first ride. A lot less bendy than I'd been lead to believe, Very fast too.

Brakes dont work though

Not convinced about the Campagnolo, I bough jm's excellent Shimano 600 groupset and wheels

A few tweaks later, I feel a lot happier about the whole thing
