Minor update.
The frame has been thoroughly degreased, cleaned, and sealed with an automotive LSP (Bilt Hamber Autobalm). Itīs come up very nicely indeed, barring the many paint chips which TBH Iīm not bothered about. Iīve wasted enough of my life with nail polish on bike frames.
We have DT cable stops (apologies for the carpet:
A Tiagra external bottom bracket and a Tiagra-level (R600) compact crankset, in rather nice condition, and a new Tiagra FD:
A cheap Ritchey headset:
The stack height of this headset is a little short so I will be raiding the parts bin of the LBS for a spacer or two. Otherwise it seems OK, at least for €7 it does!
Some 40mm deep aluminium clinchers (Felt TTR4s) with the decals removed:
Thatīs it for now. Next stop is the LBS to get the alignment checked and the bent DS dropout claw, erm, īunbentī.
Thanks for looking,
Simon
