Right, so I thought I'd keep you lot happy, and wrap this up. It didnt go without headaches, as basically my OCD started to creep in, and control the build.

I bought the last 1.75 Comp III from Alan's, and decided to use one from another bike. This was great, but when I fitted the new one to the rim, and the old one to the other rim, I noticed that the sidewalls were a different colour, so these 2 tyres are ones I already had. I have also got it into my head that the down tube decal is too far up the frame, so my OCD is saying remove and get a new set, I may do this anyway in the future, as the fork ones are a bit aged, but this adds to the survivor look. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Tom kindly threw in the rear caliper as part of the deal. It's a Formos and in great condition, but it is a slightly different shade to the DC lever - can I live with it??

Anyway, here are some shots I took today, I spent an hour polishing stuff up prior to throwing them on.

So here it is, finished.

Finally, was worth the wait, looks great mate

I've bought one of those Uni plate/sticker surrounds off Porkchop. I had already bought a plate off Snav, but it was too small for these bars, but I'm happy Paul got the sale and it will go in the man cave.

Just need a number for this now.
