I picked this 1980 steel frame up around a year ago, built it up quickly first to confirm the fit.

Since then I’ve spent way more than i should of done but I’m pretty happy with the results.

No damp course?

Ooo that’s nice. What size is it, looks quite big? Who did your paint/chroming, looks a nice job. Did you cut the back brake outer too short, routng looks a bit unusual?

Now that is lovely. Campy stuff looks so much better than Shimano on slim steel frames.

Nice job, a rare “new bike” thread worth opening!

Campag <sigh>

nolo. Looks nice, I’m not to keen on the saddle though.

Yep, saddle is period but a bit chunky. Selle Italia Turbo?

?
Many years ago I had an old Raleigh that was just a beautiful bike, I think it had something similar to the above.

Thanks all,

no idea about the damp proof.

Its a 60cm from memory, fits nice for me at 6’2″ with a long body

Painting was by a local guy who normally works on motorbike helmets. Chroming also by a local company who do classic car parts. (Local to Perth Australia)

Saddle and most of the bits apart from the wheels came on a Guirciotti (sp) donor bike in the Planet-X sale, I’m not overly enamoured with the saddle either so it will probably be on its way soon, I’ll probably get another brooks and change the bar tape to black.
