Got this as a freeby from Poggy off here and to be honest it had seen better days
A bit of spit, polish and powdercoat later and you get this (just waiting for a Brooks Saddle to show up to finish it off)

Probably knew you'd ride it for a week then get something different and figured he may as well put a taka-tax on it

Only the stem, frame and fork are not new?

Well spotted C-al although only the wheels arew totally new coz the old ones were bolloxed. Most of the shiny stuff is old stuff I had lying about and I stripped the anodising off and polished it all.
Oh and the BMX brake levers are new coz I really liked the size of them

Looks nice! I'm hoping to find something like that for a cheap commuter but nothing has come up so far

Frame looks gorgeous. Would have preferred proper drops though. Each to their own though

HIJACK - If anyone wants to build similar, I've got a mid 80s (531) Raleigh frame and forks in a 57cm that are going cheap!
