That looks ten times better with the skin wall tyres and the new wheels, fantastic looking bike. Thanks for motivating me to get a bontrager out of the loft and start building!

Swapped the Pace forks for a Judy SL, many thanks to Dan Chambers for sorting out the steerer issues for me! Spec is now exactly as I want it, still could do with a lick of paint but I can't decide on colour, I quite like the idea of painting the frame to match the forks with silver lettering, keeping the original colours just swapping them about, what do you think?

Id have it as it is but in a more poppy silver

Finally got it painted, in the end SIDish blue won.

Looking good, but what is that thing hanging where the rear derailleur should be ;-)
