Another project. That's 5 since the summer 2012 :?. Loved the detailing on this frame and it was my size to a T (55.5cm c-t with a 54.5cm top tube and 12.7cm headtube), so I snapped it up on the Bay with a BIN. Shipped from The Hague, Holland. It was a sunny day so I thought i'd go and get some snaps, it was also the first shots with my new Fujifilm FinePix S2980 hobbyist bridge camera. It is a little tatty as you would expect from a 24yr old frame, so the plan is to get it resprayed by Mercian cycles, Derby, in the coming month (20 miles away by train). Colour will be gunmetal grey metallic with apple green decals, chrome rear and fork to be saved (wheres that T-Cut metal polish!). Decals have already arrived from http://www.velocals.com/ Groupset will be Shimano 600 6400 tricolour from the late 80's to early 90's. Its a grey coloured group and I think it'll match the colour of the resprayed frame very well. Stem is a 3TTT Status also in gunmetal grey - got this from Planet-X cycles for a bargain 9.99 pounds. The ugly Stronglight headset has to go.
