My Pat Hanlon Criterium project bike, well frame really, in fetching Pea Green resting on the spookily similarly coloured maintenance frame I bought at a boot fair last week. The frame appears to have been subject to a regime of benign neglect but seems to be in pretty good nick although I did find a small ding on the LHS of the down tube beneath where the shifter band would be - but I don't think that this should affect things greatly. It's a pretty little frame, light, slender and elegant and dates from 1969. It has a Campag BB! Well, most of one, and going by the marks on the frame appears to have been a 10 (or 12) speed machine.

The second pic shows the frame after a couple of hours cleaning the gunk out of the down tube and steerer to allow fitting the Gipiemme fluted seatpost and random Milremo stem and bars. I also fitted some wheels just to check the brake drops, it was originally built for 700c so I won't need to fiddle around with long reach calipers. I am itching to get cracking with this project but need to hold back a little as it is supposed to last me through the winter!
