I noticed your in comment link on FiveAlpha’s thread and thought I’d better take a look, good read and a great paint finish, I can’t believe that motor home driver didn’t stop..... incredible.
Did you ever take any photos of the frame fully dressed in all her finery?

Should have posted months ago, you know how it is
Here’s the build-up:
This bike is used for all kinds of riding, including putting a rack on for lightweight touring, so has gearing suitable for the steepest of hills, now with a 26 inner. This generally gets me up anything Yorkshire can throw at me, including Park Rash and Rosedale Chimney, but nothing is guaranteed. Mixture of modern spec with one bit of bling, a Dura Ace seat post.
By the way, Peachy, your account of building up the bikes with your son one of the more heart-warming contributions on the forum, keep up the good work!
