To update this thread:
Nothing has happened to the Swinnerton.
The Peugeot is now mine so I'm building it as a Old Frame x Modern Groupo. I'm a pair of Ultegra 6700 Brifters and a pair of wheels away from having that complete. The wheels it's balanced on are my spare track wheels.
If anyone happens to come across a Peugeot Ultima as above in a small size (50cm top tube) then let me know!
The Gazelle is now "finished". I decided to stop being precious about braking on my front wheel - so the Gazelle now has matching wheels. I also changed the seatpost to a silver Shimano aero one, which looks much better. Finally, it has SPDs now too. I'd really like to change the Miche crankset out for DA probably, but that's not until I've finished some other projects first, maybe also build some nice wheels for it too... All in the future.
Photos to follow tomorrow.
Lastly I'm stripping down a scrubby Raleigh Prima that I got for dirt cheap...
Originally I converted it to SS, but the steel wheels and dirt cheap parts meant it was a bit too heavy. I'm going to put gears on and make more useful. It's going to get a Nexus IGH and guards, super practical.
