Every bolt was replaced, every thread was retaped, every part was as NOSish and age correct as I possibly could. This was a joint Retrobike build so I had to do you proud and do it right!

This is reminiscent of a magazine build where they try and build the ultimate bike, or when MBi? tried to create a fully British build. It's entirely Shimano and Suntour free except for them pedals! Lovely choice of components and parts.👌:cool:

Loving the hacks/mods by retro engineers and frame builders, they always love a challenge. ;)💪

Lovely Cinelli too. Awesome paint on them beauties! 😍
 
nicely done.

you have made a future (long time in the future) owner have headaches, that's got to be worth something. :) "Yes I know the bullseye cranks won't fit in a mavic BB, but I'm telling you that's what I have......".

I wish I had a Mavic BB with my Bulleye cranks back in the 90s. they didn't like Welsh mud one little bit!
 
Awesome thread and the finished article is definitely not an anti-climax! Top work Pete and crew
