Pump peg. You go for the fridge.
Thank you all for the kind comments.

What headset is that? And how are you going to build it up?
I thought I had a EDCO Competition headset in black for it ...but I haven't. Current installed is a STX. Falls a bit short in the emotion department, but with its full steel construction it is definately one I trust when hitting some severe bumps. Of an aluminum Campa Record I know it will not survive in the end.
What kit: Anyway, like with all Zieleman, high end kit. Doesn't mean it has to be of one gruppo. Anything that I have laying around, works and looks good does. Part of the pragmatic approach.
I got a couple of the Campa axles and a Centaur crankset laying around. Likely that will come on. Will do justice to its roadbike roots too. Moreover XC Pro in the equation, probably for the wheels. Am a fan of the Grease Guard feature. Shifting with Shimano mechs probably. Tough to beat. Suntour or Shimano thumbies. The final choice will probably also determine what brake system will be used ...or the other way round.
I think for the cockpit I will go with the very neat steel bar/stem combo Rody of
Groovy Cycleworks built for me. It is a combo alike the Grove Hot- and Hammerhead of yesteryear. Actually I intended for another bike, but I think on this one it will look equally good if not better.
I'd hoped a Syncros Ti/honey Brooks combo for the seating, but turns out it needs a 26.8, what rules out the Syncros. Makes a TNT Ti coming in the picture, but I am not entirely happy with that. The Syncros has a more traditional, slightly more hard core appeal, while the TNT is more typical early 90s semi weight weenie tech kit.
Something along these lines, but I have not totally figured it out.
