Really looking forward to seeing this built up!

 I took it for a ride around the block yesterday, with another saddle and grips on. The Columbus SLX frame seems to feel really stable and not heavy at all. There's something about riding a frame that has been in storage for 31 years since being manufactured and never been painted or ridden by anyone else...

A package just arrived from Cape Town. This CODA 900 saddle came standard on my new Cannondale M900 MTB in 1996. I am glad that I can use it on something special again.

This bike is going to be HAWT STUFF! Has the saddle been recovered?

I am bouncing off the walls in anticipation to see the complete bike

Eish you might be disappointed, as its going to be my simple crusing around bike. I will hopefully finish it off tonight, whilst enjoying a mokka pot coffee with a shot of Drambuie.

OK so I finished it last night. The couch was occupied, so I looked for the brightest light in the kitchen, still not the best lighting. Will take some outside pics on the weekend.
