wow!

Thanks guys. Very kind comments

Cheshire, if i could find tan sidewall tires that are durable enough, I'd put them on. Vredestein used to make them, but not anymore.

I'm a big lump, and Vredestein are the only tires I've used with which I never puncture.

WOW, absolutely stunning.

Nice, but needs splash ribbon, a period Turbomatic saddle and gumwall tyres to complete the mid-90s race look. Vittoria, Veloflex, Challenge - or even Panaracer pasela if you have the clearance. And get rid of that bottle, it completely ruins it

rajMAN

Theres tidy. :shock:

You can't beat a bit of vintage steel, only thing I would change is the saddle, made a period Regal.
As for the tyres Michellin HD Comps can be bought on ebay, or veloflex amber wall from Planet X.

Great bike and great attention to detail. Saddle and bar tape are nasty: you're mashing 80's Eurotrash neon with 60's Gentleman's racer, too anachronistic. The panto stem tho is a work of art, I don't know how you found one - Bravo! I remember when Super Record crankarms and chainrings were pantographed with all sorts of colours and names.

As noted above, try Cinelli Microsplash: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... inehbtp300

An original Flight or Turbo or Regal or Rolls would be nice: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... ellsadd625

For tyres, any Challenge or Veloflex would do. Veloflexes have the benefit of being a good substitute for chocolate or butter of you're hungry mid-ride. http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... haltyrf190

I don't work for Ribble, they just have nice stuff and give great customer service.

Just saying I've placed three separate orders through Ribble and not a single item out of them orders was in stock. They decided to ring me two weeks after the orders to tell me they didn't have them...
