Couple more updates. gears are doing and she's now rolling on new wheels - ceramic Mavic 117 on the front in lovely snowflake lacing and a less lovely 517 rim on the back.

These wheels are courtesy of Chris who had a Fat Chance listed on ebay and sent them speedily from France.

Just waiting on some straddle cables and she'll be ready to ride.
