Chro Mo Posted February 14, 2014 Share A few of the rolling chassis...just waiting for the BB to arrive before I begin final assembly I think she looks quite elegant. The decals I am not so sure about - I'll wait to complete the build then have a good look as to whether i should lose some. A few very minor tweaks to come such as changing the seatpin and brake-pads etc. Loose cog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Mo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Obviously the seatpost etc will be polished and buffed.Components will change over time as I get what I really want - this usually takes a while. Edited February 14, 2014 by Chro Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Posted February 14, 2014 Share Suggestions welcome. For the love of God, build it with a decent period appropriate gruppo and ride the **** out of it. Most importantly, don't be a wanker and turn it into a single speed. Jules and openmind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted February 17, 2014 Share Pity. I'd have paid good money. Oh well.I guess that's how these things become rare and valuable and irreplaceable. I got one - want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Decals look very good.My feeling is take it back to original, even if it looks too much, original is always best.Thats a very good looking frame. Very nice job. Well done Loose cog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well doneI think you are right. Just waiting for the BB now. Have:Shimano 600 Crankset with NOS Biopace600 DT shifters - perfect600 FD - good condition. The fly in the ointment is the RD at the moment, because I stupidly sold my 600 RD last year. i will source a nice alternative shortly. Thanks for the input.

Ryanpmb Posted February 25, 2014 Share Realy nice! Great South African frame. Decals? Undecided re decals. I'll add a Columbus steel logo on the seat tube... Quite like the undecalled look for now. I will see once she's built up. Thoughts?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted February 28, 2014 Share One of the guys I used to race school boys with had one just like this, used to drool over it. A few of the guys had really nice bikes, racing U15 and Juveniles. A few Alan's, Vitus', Dales and even a Kestrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
