He's at it again!

With middle age upon us and a dose of glandular fever to cheer you up, thoughts turn to interesting things. No not women but bikes! Occasionally women on bikes!
So what is it going to be? a retro rebuild this time something of the era when I began racing, the late 1980's/ 90's was a bit of an experimental time for bike racing with clipless pedals aero bars and low profile bikes and I would like to incorporate a little of that in the build.
We need criteria, so it will be
1)Light weight
2) Have a sprinkling of campagnolo components because we couldn't afford them at the time!
3) Make we go weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ziperdeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dooooooooooooooo daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr when I ride it.

Inspiration would have to come from the likes of Malcom Eliot, Greg Lemond and Sean Kelly who all pioneered novel components on their machines
Let the creating commence
