yet another unfinished project. Still need to get a new inner tube, gear cables and a chain. Also need to fit the 7 speed block on the rear wheel.

Haven't decided on a saddle yet.

Damn, I used to have one of those back in the early 80's. Though it was brown,

It's been powder coated but it was originally bluey/grey. I quite like the green. Have also had to change a few components but it should be a cracking ride being 531ST tubing including forks and stays.
Only down side is its only a 20" frame.

Got round to finishing this off today. Rides nice and comes in at 24lbs. Must have had Robin Hood on my mind when colour co-ordinating. I'm sure if he rode a bike he might just have picked this one. Used up some spare components to replace the ones that came with the bike as they were either broken or beyond salvage. Think the half leather socks look good on the randoneur bars and the Milremo stem. Plus I always like to see shiny large flange hubs.
