The build is done!

SHAKEDOWNS: Have been on a couple of short neighborhood rides to find all the small tweaks that always need doing. Have some Vittoria Corsa tubulars in 25s on there so of course it rides nice. Still needs toe straps.

I reused the benotto style bar wrap. I wrapped one side with a modern bar tape as a test and it was just too fluffy.

Bike pulls to right with no hands. Will try to chase that down. Must be the fork as the frame passed the string test handily.

Used a modern seat because it fit good and it was white. Other than the chain and freewheel it’s all original.
