I've just stripped this down to the frame and it all came apart so easily - testament to what greasing everything properly and decent maintenance levels the previous owner clearly carried out can do.
The headset, bottom bracket (Phil) and the stem/seatpost/collar (all Thomson) are all in minty-fresh pristine condition.
It'll be off to Ali at some point this week.
I'm going to have a crack at building the wheels myself - I'm thinking all black Chubs on Archetypes and will ask @dancing james to offer guidance as well as coffee.
Cranks will be either Sugino 75, Onions or Rotor - obviously all black.
@Dom recommended Ribmo tyres having heard @DoktorPepe sing their praises, so I guess I'll give them a try.
