Finished the rebuild and after a couple rides this french beauty has stole my heart. Everything they say about fine steel frames is true here, especially with Vittoria Corsa SC tubulars this ride is really like a magic carpet! Yet plenty stiff when accelerating. Cornering is a blast. The Record gears shift beautifully light and precise after the rider has had some experience with them. Even the Sedis chain seems like it's in good condition. Only thing new on the bike are the tubs and the Regal saddle.

Rear brake cable is integrated in the frame. I carelessly pulled out the old cable out of the frame, then got scared how will I be able to install the new one. I was relieved when I found out there was actually some sort of tube inside the frame. I pushed the cable from the other side and it came out the other side just like that! Easiest integrated cable install I've ever done. I used some really old NOS cables because they had white outers. Probably will change these to something better at some point because these are far from smooth.

Decided to use my NOS 3ttt shiny and plasticy bar tape on this because it somewhat fits the colour scheme. Still not sure if I like the look of it or not but the tape feels nice.

Rear GP4 rim is slightly dented, I have one GP4 as a spare and was ready to change it, but then noticed it needed to be a 32h... spare was a 36. Never mind, I'll find a new rim later, it's fine for now.

I'll keep this as a nice weather, special event bike.
