I'd probably stick with the opc and that disc chain ring cleaned up, just look for some different pedals. Not sure what though, white SX's or something  :-\.

Wheel wise not sure, try the spokes and  see how you feel I guess.

But then I clocked that stem, what's going on with that?  :shocked:. Looks like a mix between being wrapped in a nappy or embedded in injected foam or something  :-X.

In general, mix it up as you see fit my friend, think it will tolerate that kind of approach.  :daumenhoch:

This one has stalled a bit but some progress has been made a while back.

Pete, yeah the stem protection is kind of odd I guess but kind of cool too. It's just a bog standard 4 bolt MBK jobby with a hard rubbery jacket. I see you point though. The wheels look great on but the 1.75 tyres aren't seating on the 1.5 rims properly. I have tried all sorts of tricks but no joy. I really want to use the tyres though, they are nos 88-89 Michelin Naja in green with amber walls. I reckon they look great so will persevere with seating them properly. The San Marco Supercorsa arrived but I might go with the og generic one in white. The Supercorsa is green and is really nice but it depends on what colour brakes I go with. I've talked myself out of using some nice white DC 901's in white with tech 4 levers. Too nice perhaps  :LolLolLolLol:

I know what you mean about seating tyres. I never used to struggle with that, then I mounted those Panaracers to my zed's. Man took about 5 attempts, on, off, push in one side, pop out the other, twist them, flip them ,etc. Pump the right up, half deflate them, etc. etc. Nearly gave up so many times. But in the end perseverance won out. Keep going my friend, be worth it in the end  :daumenhoch:.

Mikku:
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. :daumenhoch:

Midschoolfool:
Me too. The stem rubber is a good idea tbh. Stem pads were a massive pain in the arse, never fitted properly and would get on your tits until you removed it.

I would imagine France had different H&S to us back then too.
