No Carbon here!

Finally it is assembled, not quite ready for action yet as the gears need a bit of fine tuning, but I still present to you Vicky the vitus God bless her and all who ride her.
time really for a bit of reflection, overall I feel I have built an authentic late 1980's early 1990's road bike, it has campagnolo which I have previously never used, and it does have a bit of italian flair in as much  as things may change/ work if it feels like it. The frame is a bit big for me, but now I am getting old  and the belly is getting bigger, reaching the drops will be a challenge the differences in height should allow for a comfortable ride, one day I will for sure curse fitting Tubs and not clinchers but for now I can't wait to ride and sprint for that 30 MPH sign on the dual carriage way trying to emulate the great Sean Kelly.
