It was about the figure I had in mind before I'd started, and it's a lot more palatable now that each new frame will be a couple of hundred.
Had my first longer ride on it, 80km of back lanes and bridleways out from York around the Howardian Hills with a visiting friend. Used heaps of acetone to de-grease the frame and then gave it three coats of Halfords clear coat, as well as a Columbus decal and a new patch for the framebag. Order with the new chain/pads/axle has yet to arrive, hopefully they'll be here soon before doing the Trans Cambrian next weekend.
