Between a gazillion other non-bike projects, finally finished this vintage hot-rod. Pics taken just before the final tweaks and adjustments. Circa 1958 - original made by a custom frame builder in London. Note the livery. Built with all race period components. Reynolds 531 butted throughout, Nervex Professional lugs, Campy dropouts and fork ends. Tubulars and built them by even using vintage butted spokes. Mostly new cable inners but I salvaged some old outer sheathing. Wanted to keep the patina and the race battle scar look.









French AVA death stem... because in the day, they were one of the lightest and I simply like aura of them.
