This frameset + wheels is currently on the bedroom wall in my girlfriend's flat, hanging there artistically while the requisite additional components, tools and knowledge gradually accumulate.
The frame & forks are vintage Chas Roberts (South London frame maker) in Columbus tubing; the wheels (Ambrosio hubs, Halo Retro rims, DT Rev spokes) have also been assembled in South London, by Arup who is a local wheel builder.
Gruppo is Campag, mainly Athena given intersection of requirements: retro, pretty & shiny (decided by her) and light weight + plenty of gears (decided by me).
Nevertheless, I think I may yet be able to slip some carbon into the build... the handlebars will of course be mostly concealed, by cork or leather bar tape of course
