Nice!
Are you in the Southampton area? Thought I spotted the chimney of Fawley Power station in the background of one of your pics.

No, it's the chimney on The Isle of Grain in Kent but funnily enough I come from Dibden Purlieu in The New Forest and know Fawley well

Thanks, annoying thing is I want to take it out but have had no time since completion and go away for two weeks after work on Thursday. Oh well, when I get back she'll get a muddy ride I guess

Re the stem, I was lucky that Matt also had this for sale, it's a beautiful price of craftsmanship and such a great idea.

Looks spot on. Love that stem and fork combo

Thanks buddy, I'm very happy with it accept for the silver Ringle cage. Got a black Zefal carbon plastic one on the way. Simple things

Where did you find that? eBay? I gave up looking though admittedly didn't give myself a big window of opportunity!

If your talking about the bottle cage, one seller has two listed on UK eBay right now, search 'Zefal France cage'

Don't know if the one I've bought is different, also has 'Carbon' written on it ?
