Gorgeous. Eroica?

Shouldn't that be erotica?

Nothing erotic in my book about 100 miles round the Peak District!

I was talking about the bike!!!

Might need to change the freewheel before doing L'eroica on that.

Now had it been a 7 speed racing block 18T-12 I would have agreed, but at 21T-12, it's not exactly low but with 52T-42 should just about manage most climbs with a bit of out of the saddle heaving.

Cycling is too easy nowadays with 30T rear and 34T compact front gears. I've just changed my modern from 50T-34 to 53T-39 and even the 39 feels low at tomes

Lovely. Gp4's would still be my rim choice today if they were available, with Record hubs they are/were a thing of beauty, The only tip I have is about the seat post bolt and the stem bolt: I can't tell from the picture but stock items always looked raged and best replaced, campag do one for the for the seat post.
Would it be rude to ask an approximate price?

 

[GGJ]

It is a Campagnolo seatpost pin that's in there, just the way the camera has caught the light that makes it look scruffy

Price, what it cost me to build...I don't even want to think about it
