No idea, sorry. I haven't ridden it yet. This week, maybe.

Thought I'd update you all, the bike is pretty much finished now and rides very nicely. I just have a couple of tiny niggles to sort out, I doubt anyone else would notice them lol 
Front derailleur cable isn't parallel to the frame because I haven't got the right BB cable guide. And I'm trying to find a suitably nice period saddlebag.
I'm very happy with it though, and by hell is it light for its age.

Re:
Beautiful! Now get the nose of that saddle up to horizontal (using a spirit level, puh-leeze!) and slung back on the rails. And forget your aching old back and the '70s shop racer look and rotate those bars forward like so!! >>
PS I hope that you're not going to put a saddle bag on this bike?? :facepalm: I can imagine that the frame will spontaneously combust when attaching such CTC style items!!
:shock:

This is true but you could simply stuff your pockets with your essentials and leave the bike looking crisp and mean :twisted:

I already have those, I was going to have a few put on but the painter did it before I'd had a chance to ask. So right now the frame just has TVT decals. I could always stick them on later, but I kind of like it nice and simple anyway.

On a THM build maybe... But not on a thoroughbred, it'll be akin to an Aston Martin wearing a towing bracket
