It's nearly back together again ...

• a 50T round outer ring doesn't work well with a 40T Biopace inner: if the derailleur is low enough on the seat tube for the change onto the big ring, the chain scrapes on it once per revolution on the small ring. Not that I use the small ring a lot anyway
• probably need a new computer mounting kit, I managed to rip the sensor off in the spokes when it came loose
• haven't put the bar tape on yet, I want to get the lever position right first
• for no reason I can think of, the OLN axle width of the frame is 135mm. I wonder if this is crash damage (not that I can remember ever having crashed it that badly) or something, because it's an unusual size for a road bike. It springs happily to 130, though the QR isn't very.
• cost of upgrades now over half what I paid for the original bike (back in 1994)
• it's a lot shinier in the flesh metal than the cameraphone pictures show
