Thanks clubman.
The idea was to build it as close as possible to what it would have looked like 70 something years ago (as per catalogue this model was sold as a fixed bike, but I wanted some gears). I'll ride it, enjoy it and have a feel of the 'goodness' of the Cantiflex tubing and Diadrant forks.
The ratio on the 3 speed block is very close indeed but I wanted to try a time trial/racing setup. I was thinking originally about riding L'Eroica UK on it but it will too hard on my little legs so I will be using another bike with a more sensible 2x5 setup.
Cheers.
