    Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone, it´s very much appreciated.

    The rest of the build spec, not already included in my previous posts is listed below for those that are interested. Most of the parts were already on the bike, or poached from another or out of my parts ´bin´.

    BB; Tifosi Campag fit 102mm
    Crankset; Record with 52 chain ring (rear cog is 22 tooth)
    Headset: Mpart pro 1¨ (was black so sanded back to bare alloy and polished)
    Seat post: Chorus
    Saddle: Charge Pan (not the lightest, but definitely the most comfortable saddle I´ve ever sat on)
    Calipers: Mirage Monoplanar, Koolstop Salmon pads
    Tyres: Vittoria 25 mm Corsa SCII tubulars
    Stem: FSA OS99
    Bars: Zipp Vuka Sprint V2 Carbon
    Bar tape: Cinelli Caliedo EVA
    Bottle cage: Cheapo alloy, I think originally from Halfords.
    Pedals: currently spd type fitted for test ride, will fit Time RSXs so I can wear my ŕace' shoes in due course.

    All up weight as photograped is about 8 kg.

    Interesting that you've put the shifter on the left side of the bars, are you left handed?

    I am left handed but did intend fitting the shifter on the ride side, but when I did this I wasn´t happy with the cable run, I didn´t like the way it rubbed up against the head tube. When I set it up on the left hand side, it looked much better, so went with that.

    So nice that once the bars and stem are painted black I'd actually consider having one the same.

    Very, very well done.

    Nah, the bars and stem had to be polished alloy or same colour as the frame, as the bars are carbon polished alloy was out :lol:
