New build. Lugged Steel

My first real road bike was a lugged steel frame with Shimano 600 group. Well. I'm back where I started. Building up a lugged steel with equipment from that same time era. Some newer parts though. I'll rebuild the wheel to accept 8-9-10 speed and I'm going for Suntour friction shifters. They're simply the best! I could of course make this a Vintage-All-Original-Parts-Build, but that would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. Now I'm mostly making use of spare parts found in my basement. I even found a Tiso Altore rear derailleur. That's not bad for a spare part. The frame is original yellow, panted blue, but will end up red with white decals. It'll have a very special crank and some deep section alu rims. I already love this bike, and I haven't even started the build.

I'll keep you posted
