Airborne Blackbird on a budget

sadly the Marin Bear valley is still sitting outside, but i've been given this Airborne Blackbird.
unfortunately it's when i never seem to have mucho cash, so i'm desperately going to build it on a strict budget and the items must be black

I've set a £100 budget and from that so far i have:
seatpost
front and rear brakes
brake levers
stem
richey bars - decribed as used..but look new
Shimano rs10 wheels and tyres from the forum (dans)

i have £25 left to spend and i need:
cranks (might be able to pick some up FOC, have my eye on some, might cost me a favour though)
chain
cables
single speed conversion kit
pedals =- spd hopefully
aheadset spacers....
skewers

and then try and find the time to ride it!

The recessed brake fitting is very tight into the front carbon fork. It will go but I don't think it should be that tight. Can you get different diameter fitting?. The back brake is fine

As it is so far

Three years it's taken me to build it and I just topped out over £100.....excluding frame. Bugger what have I been dping in three years, nothing it looks like.
