Knucks, I'm particularly interested in yours because it is remarkably similar to the Audax E-E I'm currently building: brooks, compass tires, grey anodised rims, metal guards... even the Mafac Racers which are still sitting on my unfinished project! What stem did you use on yours (is that a grand bois)? Any new photos to allow me stare at it some more?

No actual ride photos from me either, but I've taken it out only a few times for errands. Nice riding bike, but I can feel the extra weight whenever I encounter the hills. That's ok, it gives me an excuse for going slow.

Wow, that's awesome! The Vigorelli is a stunning frame.

No action shots but here's a photo

Nice update Knucks! I am really impressed with Paul Components. The Racers are awesome brakes. I also have a set of polished Neo-Retros cantis sitting around that I would love to try on a frame. I keep looking for a cheap steal frame to build up around these Neo Retros and other spare parts.
