Well I finally got there.
A long slow burner of a project but one that is so satisfying to call complete.
Thanks to
@nammonk and
@onegoodbike for some of the final bits to get this together.
DA 7410 BB to match the crankset, it has a very low Q factor. I had to put this together with innards from one and a cup from the other.

I've certainly enjoyed the journey getting this one over the line as there have been some great learning steps along the way, not least building my first set of wheels! There were so many details to research, repair, replace or otherwise make careful choices for the final build. It isn't a total period piece by any means but I hope you agree it feels 'right.'
The bike rides beautifully too! Smooth, fast and very comfortable. I'll post more of my summer outings as and when they happen.
