New project 99% finished.. Say hello to "Chrome lightning"

This is my new bike, 99 % finished. Only thing missing is the handlebar tape (I'll get some during this weekend).

Specs:

Frame: 1980's Chromed swiss Titan
Wheels: Michelin Select 28x7/8" (23-622)
Rims: Mavic 190FB
Brake: Weinmann Vainqeur 750
Brake lever: Weinmann
Seatpost: NOS 1980's SR Laprade
Stem: NOS 1980's Cinelli
Seat: Brooks B5N (borrowed from my Raleigh Royale)
Crank: Shimano
Chainring/cotters : 1980's no name
Pedals: Shimano PD-M 324

The bike weighs in at 20,9lbs (9,5kgs). I never meant it to be so light weight. I have to admit it was a pleasant surprise!

It is really a 5 speed, but I've made it a "cheated" single speed, leaving all 5 cogs and just not installing a rear derailleur.

Hope you like it! I think it looks pretty good.

(oh, and whatever you guys think, the fork is not bent, so don't even bother.)







And some pics taken at night :
