I think this bike is finally complete! New tyres, a climbing rear cassette (11,28), and some shiny new bidons for chrissy. Went for a quick ride and was stoked. Very, very pleased with the ride

Thanks Strange, definatly not as pretty as when you had it all period C Record, but as a usable bike to put some K's on it's a ripper.
Felt a bit odd at first after a stiff Alu frame but loving the ride now.
Curious to know what it weighs, need to sort some scales, but feels pretty reasonable for a steelie.
