Smart build sir.

Here are a few shots the day I unboxed my nos Walter Croll after arrival from my painter.

Fast mock up.

Going all original Campy Athena for the gruppo.

Challenge Eroica tires fit with the VO fenders and 700X35s w/o them, Brooks Swift, Paul neo retro/touring cantis with Kool Stops, Nitto Noodles and Pearl stem etc.......

Duluth bags, front and rear. Twin el cheapo 1200 lumen lights.







I am registered for long distance gravel rides this summer. This includes the Almanzo 100. Likely will ride this, as I won't build my Ritchey Swiss Cross until early August.

I'll post pics when I finish it in a week or so.
