I did indeed. I had the idea like I always do of building it slowly over the next few months, but excitement got the better of me and I have ordered pretty much everything I didn't have yet and will hopefully have it built in a week or two.
Reckon it'll be a very handy bike and full build should be about £500 or so I think so cheap too.

So thanks to @root I am picking up a Salsa Vaya frameset for £150 this afternoon.
Looking at choosing wheels now. I have bought a cheapish dynamo front hub from Rosebikes, thinking just a deore or deore xt rear hub, rims are what I am after advice about. Thinking Pacenti tl28 maybe as they are light enough but probably strong enough in 36h flavour and £30 each at PX. However they also have the DL31 at £20 each, bit heavier and maybe 26mm internal width is a bit much for my (initially when road touring) 35m tyres?
Also with tyres, I was looking at Rando Pro's, had good experiences with normal randos, but the pros are folding so a bit lighter and 120tpi so maybe a bit more supple, £18 each. Anything else I should be looking at in that price range?
Cheers!
