Yeah, those are tubulars. They are Vittoria Competition Rally. They
say 23, but measure closer to 24mm. I'm interested in trying the
Vittoria Pave model which goes all the way to 27mm, but at $100
apiece, I might wait a bit.

Are these the tubulars? If so, what are they and how wide are they?

The "parting-out-the-old-parts" phase of this project is nearing
completion.
I bought the whole bike for $600.
I've kept the Frame/Fork/Headset, the Bar/Stem, the saddle, the
wheelset/tires, the cages and pump.
I removed for resale most of the Campy Super Record bits: crankset,

Pretty bike! It's similar in color to my Bleriot. Enjoy it.

The clincher wheelset is on there now, with 700x27 Roly Poly tires and
a 14-28 freewheel.

Nice quality freewheels with a 28 or bigger are hard to come by, as
others on other threads on this board frequently lament. I have a
14-28 6sp Shimanopore freewheel on the clinchers that will be revealed
soon. I have a suntour perfect 6 speed in a 13-26 which might be
delightful. The final gear
Nice bike William. I like the way these older standard gage 531C ride
and hope it gives you a lot of joy. Why struggle with a 24; why not
just go to a 27 or 28?
My winter project was rebuilding a 1984 Trek 620. I spread the stays
just so I could go to a cassette with a 12 cog, which allows for a

You parallelaterra zealots see flat drops wherever you look. Mine are
not. My handlebars are adjusted to fit the rider, not the fantasy of
a horizon. I'd estimate -3 degrees.

And the build is complete. The clincher wheelset isn't ready yet, but
I did one shake-down ride on the tubulars, and was satisfied enough
with the fit to wrap twine and shellac the bars. It's ready to ride!
I'm amazed how un-low this bike was geared to start with. 42x21 was
the lowest gear. I h
Thanks, and will do. We're getting some unusual weather here at the
moment, but today's commute was just fine nonetheless.

The preferred term used here (a verb) is "dazzle" instead of "blind".
When commuting in the dark on roads in the Dales, one needs all the
help he can get.
Loves my Dinottes. I've spent more on lights than bicycles over the
past few decades, and I like to think that's why my heart is still
beating
Nice build Bob. I want to do something similar with a CL 80's raleigh
mixte. Thanks for the link cuz I have 2 dinottes but can't use the
front one with a basket too.
Thanks for the inspiration.
