Old school meets new

I got this bike from an old guy who turned out to be a pro racer back in the 1950s. It was just a frame with forks, bars, stem and BB (Bottom Bracket). I added to it the wheels and cranks (with 46T chain ring) from Brown Jersey, bar tape, Time pedals, tyres, seat post, saddle, chain, sprocket (16T) and a new BB to accommodate for the cranks. The seat post and saddle are from another bike of mine and I will be getting a silver Thomson seat post, Brooks leather saddle and Chris King headset later down the track.

This bike rides very well and I can see it is going to last me for another 50 years.
