I finished Siobhan's '78 Gitane TDF
just in time for Christmas.
She rode this quite a lot a few years ago
but always struggled a little with the friction
shifters. So I fitted some modern Ultegra shifters
for her, generously donated by Neil (thanks Pal).
I had a nice set of TA cranks which I had been keeping
for this build, and am very pleased that I did.

They really set off the whole thing I think.

I have since fitted Velo orange guards and a Brooks Pro S
saddle, I will get some photos up shortly.
I used Cyclomondo in Australia for the decals.
As usual I was really pleased with Gregs eye for detail
in his repro decal sets.
