Today was a good day in the MH's shop. After a two week debacle involving an "Old Nago" and sending it off to other parts of the world, I sent the last of the parts to Andy in NY this morning. Free at last to work on the Ochsner and finish it as a horror build. It went into the stand and had a mix of Sugino cups from the "Old Nago" that had a bit of damage and a new 5-P spindle to get a BB in the frame. Adding the VP triple I found a good Q-line and I am now ready to add the shifting products from Huret on the stem, and finding a compatible front derailleur. Smiles, Dave # 3
Not very pretty but a good crank that should be fine.
The nds arm had the perfect q-line and the BB could not re-use the lock ring from Nago damage. A Campy was substituted.

I found the right bolts to attach the cable routes for the shift mechanisms and was able to add them to the Ochsner. I thought today would be finishing up day but was delayed by having to spend two and a half hours picking up another frame that was re-coated by PKI. Perhaps it should have been part of the horror build but it is the wrong variety of special. Smiles, MH
One of the right colors, but the wrong builder.
