Still some problems with Murphy's Law but almost there...

Looks to me the main issue could be no pedals

Really.

Actually I really dig how that saddle covers the seatclamp

Thanks all! The saddle is a NOS Selle San Marco Concor from the 1980's and I know it's a boat anchor but I love it for its comfort as this is my long distance rig, the classic perforated leather and - exactly as Samuel said - the way it covers the clamp of the custom painted Thomson Masterpiece post.

Tinea Pedis, the pedals will be Speedplay stainless but no use to put them on since there is no cassette body yet (waiting for new bearings)

i'd really like to buy another bike with some of the details that you have done on this build.

the details i like best are the chunky rear stays that keep the same diameter all the way back, the shot-in seat tube cluster, and the white painted forks, and of course the wheel/tyre combo.

so yes, its inspiring work

Hmm...I'm not sold on the seat post being white, rather a polished Campy but regardless I think it looks GREAT!

nicely done on the white painting

those wheels sure make ik look good, to bad those rims are getting harder to get
lucky that i have some left for my self

some delta brakes would look great on the bike, to bad those are heavy and dont brake

change nothing and ride it
