UPDATE #2
Some bits arrived...
The forks, wheelset, tyres, crankset, headset, new bb, brake levers, and the rear derailleur :)
I've cut down the massive seatpost that my lbs kindly gave me for free and removed the old rusty bb and headset cups with their help.
The big dilemma now is:
1) Go with drops and use shimano shifters (bar end probably) but have to use a jtek converter -
which i have found slightly annoying in the past.
2) Go with drops and use the matching right hand sram trigger shifter, fork out for the paul 31.8 mount adapter, and then use some kind of 3-speed bar end shifter (the sram s500 - if they even sell them individually?!) for the triple chainring up front.
3) Ditch the drops, stick on some risers and buy the matching sram trigger shifter pair like a good boy...
Hmmmmmmmmmm
here's how it looks so far anyway though :)
