Nick Von-Vader at The London Cycle Workshop took just three hours from start to finish to put the build together. I can't believe how great it looks, way beyond my expectations. Thanks are also due to TLCW owner Simon England whose advice and guiding hand were crucial.

And what a joy to ride - all the benefits of a modern groupset but with a fully restored classic Italian steel frame that absorbs the bumps in the roads.
Just swapped the original Turbo saddle for a Brooks Professional. Both look nice.
