I thought it best to start a thread on this as it might spur me into action and get the thing built.
So this has been purchased and is now sitting in a bike box in the utility room pissing off my wife:
I have parts lying around from these:

(though the 1st Gangsta I bought got totalled by a car, so don't have the cranks, BB, seatpost & saddle)
I have also bought some decals (cheers @LWZ ), XTR V-brakes and will sort out some levers....
I bought a 27.2 shim today from wiggle ....
I am planning on the following:
Get v-brake brazes sorted for the forks (or swap with @swedeee )
Re-use the Pista cranks + chainring & BB (depending on threading)
Re-use the Thomson stem & bars
Re-build the 36h phils on open pros for commuting purposes
Re-use the flite transalp
Get some full guards as I prefer dry (er) feet
If I get it re-painted I want it to look like this:

with a matt black fork.
I have another set of phils (HF x32) on B43's that I will prob sell as I would like a set of CX wheels. My daughter is starting to enjoy riding her bike and the 2nd is not far behind so would like to be able to have a set of wheels to trundle round the woods with them...
I don't expect this to happen overnight as I have a Wife, Kids, Dog & accountant all vying for my time but I will update on progress as it goes..
