Spec as it was at the time of writing:

Well, I removed the ancient pedals and fitted a pair of 1990 Looks I had lying around, before pulling the entire machine to bits and cleaning it.  New front wheels have now been built, with Sun CR18 rims and Primo Comet 37-451 tyres, and a new rear gear cable is lurking in the shed.  A pre-Slimed inner tube has been fitted to the rear wheel, as the attachment system of the rack rather defeats one of the objects of having the cantilever wheel – you can no longer change the tube without removing the wheel, and this is now a slightly complicated business.  A new chain idler pulley has been secured courtesy of Cap’n Bob Dixon, while the seat cushion will also have to be replaced.  Whether or not we splash out on a pukka set of squashy bits from Cap'n Bob is yet to be decided - if we can lay hands on some of that industrial air filter material instead, and it proves satisfactory, we won't bother.  In case you're wondering why someone who repeatedly decries 451 as one of the least useful tyres since records began then went and fitted them to this machine, well, although it's not obvious from any of the pictures, the chain is about 5 cm off the ground where it passes beneath the frame cross-member.  Now consider what the ground clearance would be with front wheels 22.5 mm smaller in diameter would be...  Even with 451's, speed humps have to be negotiated with care.

Further developments may involve a Stronglight Escapade tandem front chainset (which can be converted to a triple), a new freewheel (Shimano Megarange 14-34 if I can convince myself that the Cyclone rear mech will cope), Shimano bottom bracket and Sachs/SRAM chain.  Seat mounts and other control cables are also required, but these should be available in our local branch of Halfords.  What's this "we"?  Well, my wife Tina has decided that 002 is hers, at least as far as the 2001 racing season is concerned...
