Sozzer, just sold my 56! I know you weren't overly keen on the red but it built up surprisingly classy, Alpina forks would/d0 really pull it together (pic of mine coming soon).
Phil's looks like a really good base and at least you wouldn't feel bad if you wanted to take the paint stripper to it.
might be interested in the whole thing bar the frame, jono's 56 or another might be more appropriate for me
