Coke can shim did the trick, although I used diet coke as I think it's slimmer
Seatpost is now solid so just need to find some time for a ride

It seems that the seat cluster is the obvious distinctive area on these tange aero frames.
I got all very excited thinking I had found a match but not quite - closer inspection showed it to be the same as the one adam posted back in 2014

Well that took longer than it should have. Shortly after getting the frame I injured my shoulder so haven't been up to riding a road bike for over 6 months. Things finally on the improve. The other thing holding me up was the lack of a threaded headset. A forumite generously sent me not 1 but 2 headsets, so I was all out of excuses.
Found a bit of time yesterday to finish getting it together so I could take Dennis for a ride.
Very happy! Surprisingly generous clearances for 28mm tyres & rides beautifully.
Photo doesn't show it needs a good clean & polish.

Cheers and from that angle you can't tell that the right brake lever is ever so slightly higher than the left10speedsemiracer wrote:Tasty. Well done.

I managed to pick up a hidden bolt stem for a good price, complete including shimano alloy cap, only 75mm tall, but 100mm reach and 74 angle
Now to find some chop'n'flops (25.4 mm) so I can take up cameron's suggestion

Only taken 2 years, but I eventually come aroundironhanglider wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 10:58 pmSome chop'n'flops and some reverse cable non-aero brakes would be right for this period.

I.....like.....it.
Sorry to read about your shoulder. Shoulders are very pesky and take quite a while to come good. I bet you are pleased to be getting back into the swing of things.
