Small update: I polished the handlebars (they're very nice bars, but I'm not a fan of the fluoro yellow and blue graphics they had). This took a while, as they were shot peened, so had to cut through the textured finish before polishing. I was slightly concerned about taking too much material off, but the finished clamp diameter is 31.74mm, which the stem seems to fit fine.
I've also polished-up the hub shells, before starting to lace the wheels.
Other new parts, which have arrived in the past few days: Flite saddle, Thomson stem, seatpost and seat collar, second hand chris king headset (ebay bargain), and a set of Gilles Berthoud stainless mudguards.
