Looking great! Love the roadie headset, this is going to look amazing when finished.

Also, enjoying your sideboard/cabinet! What era is this from? It reminds me of mid century furniture, but with a nod to the past... very cool.

In 86 these came with Dura Ace hubs and 600 headset and cranks. I got the Dura Ace hubs and thought I would just use the matching headset. The crankset I'm using is XT. I've had it in my parts bin for years along with the handlebar and deerhead derailleur. I've been waiting for the right frame to come along and it finally did.

The sideboard is mid century. I think it's from the late 50's to early 60's I'm not sure. It makes a nice focal point in my living room.
