Unknown Nervex Lugs "Mina" (benus)

Had no plans to build up a "new" ride, but got the frame from a "cellar" sale. Didn't want to invest to much so I used "cellar" parts and only new parts where needed (for now ;)). Couldn't get my eyes of the lugs. And maybe the kids will be tall enough in 10 years. Don't be mad with me for the setup ;)

Frame:
Unknown with Nervex Lugs (maybe PX10, but the part where the seat stays hit the seat tube does not look like Peugeot for me). 56 c-c. 120mm rear. Campagnolo dropouts. Interessting detail on the down tube (maybe for gear lever clamp - see last pic (shows lugs without paint as well)).

Fork/Headset:
Unknown with Nervex lugs - Tange Levin (italic font) (came with frame). Drilled for use with modern brakes (2mm more where needed).

Shimano 105 FC-1050 - 170mm (used) / Shimano 1.37"x24 BSA (came with frame).

Fyxation - Six Fyx Conversion Kit / BCD 5x130mm - 46T

Derailleurs/Shifters:
Six Fyx Rear Derailleur / Six Fyx Thumb Shifter (microSHIFT), cable routing changed in comparison to inital for smoother shifting.

Handlebars/Stem:
Simple Riser with Ergon GA3 grip (used) / Hetchins (?!) (custom paint) (used) on Ergotec Ahead Adapter 22,2 / 1 1/8 (new).

Saddle/Seatpost:
Charge Scoop (used) with "silver" rails / BBB SkyScraper BSP-20 - 400mm - 27,0mm (!) (new).

Brakes:
Front: Dia Compe Dual Pivot BRS101 (normal) (new). Rear: Dia Compe Dual Pivot BRS202 (long, I used the front brake. Long "screw" needed) (new). Jagwire cable housing. Tektro FL540 brake lever.

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:

Accessories:
Studio Brisant stainless steel mudguards (hand polished) 36mm, Little ring to hold the cable housing infront of the stem in the right place. New badge "Mina" (Sticker by woom ;))

More Info:
Rust was removed (not much was there), "Painted" the edges of the lugs to make them more visible (was tone in tone before). Clear varnish. "Lightweight" tires, and shorten the seatpost will bring it down to 10kg
