Another piece of the puzzle arrived after a lucky ebay find and at a very reasonable cost. That's the rear set-up sorted now.
The two biggies left: cranks and tyres

I managed to grab a few minutes to get the rotor on this afternoon and the sun was out, so here's where it's at. We're getting there...

Two sets of pic's in a week? Madness.
Thanks to @benjabbi we have useable rubber that whilst not totally period correct (but still old, steel bead, early'ish model) will mean I won't slip all over the shop or cry knowing I'm ruining some classic tyres that cost a small fortune. It doesn't come across in the pictures but 2.2s fill out that bit extra and really look the part. That all said, I will keep looking for something special for the show and shine pics.
So, CRANKS. CRANKS. I need CRANKS!

Phwoar that looks good. What grips are you looking for?
Great question. What do you think these could be? They have a zig-zag, lightening pattern. Onza?
can we have a non drive side photo please, I likes a Hope caliper I does…

@al-onestare I'm fairly certain those grips were an actual Kona product. Look at this picture of a Gripshift from the 97 catalogue, it certainly looks like the same grip next to the shifter and I seem to have recollections of them from years ago. Unfortunately probably like rocking horse poo these days!

I’ve got these M952 ones.
Pretty sure there're not. It doesn't come through on the pics but it's a definite lightening type pattern, not the geometric style on those grips.
Ta but 5 arm needed preferably (and getting an adapter costs almost as much again!)
