Thanks juvela . I pick up parts here and there and all those for this one I acquired over the past few years except for the stem which I just got from cycles de ORO specifically to complete this build - I like that girder look. Here's a closeup of the headset (I see another chip I need to touch up). As far as I knew it's a complete TDC Conti Italia, but I have been known to be way off-base on parts ID. The spacer is obviously a sub, misplaced the lock washer (it's here somewhere...) and I also needed to keep the stack as low as possible, the stem was cut a bit close way back when. V.A.R pin spanner I had really came in handy here. Standard 22.2 diam for stem. It would have been great to get a Lytaloy headset for this but ask prices for the rare ones that crop up are eye-watering.

Coloral relaunched a few years back and I grabbed a couple, but I haven't seen any of the bottles in stock anywhere for awhile now. Website is still up, https://coloral.cc.
