Well after getting so bored of Leicestershire MTB and always having to travel for decent trails, I built myself this up.
Fully aware of the fail front logo/valve and the state of the garden (not mine)

Whole build was stupidly cheap.

Quick Specs;

Dura ace 7800 shifters, Mechs, Cranks, BB
105 Brakes and rear hub
Mavic MA40 rims (wheels donated from my mum)
Deore front hub
Raceface finishing kit.

I loike bargains, how much?..."stupidly cheap" and Dura Ace in the same sentence?

Looks like a Deore DX or LX hub - that's early 90s right there, chapeau.

Paid about £250 all in,

Got the chainset and bottom bracket for £35 off an amazing gentleman, the rest I bought from the bay, sold on a few bits and had bargains aplenty.

Mum donated a full ladies Dawes Shadow, the wheels were upgraded mid 90's to the ones above, the hubs Al are indeed Deore (1995), but the rear one is now a 2011 105 10spd to accommodate the newer components.

Still have the full Dawes minus the wheels with the full Deore groupset that I will hopefully shift at some point.

Thank you, I am exceptionally happy with it.
it's my first road bike since my 5 speed Raleigh milk race back in the late 80's
