How do you feel about the frame size?

Realistically it's maybe a touch on the large side, but not outside the range of acceptable. That Karakoram looks great, these forks really pair well with triple triangle frames

@Alb I'm switching them for some porteur bars soon, but I'll try that when they go on the next bike.

With a bit of bodging you can add one of those sprung steering stabalisers to help with the twitchy / wheel flop.

Well I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats for updates, but I've ironed out a few kinks.

Found a 406 gumwall tyre to match, aesthetics are king after all.
Sorted magic gearing. Turns out the dropout only has enough room for the able and anti-turn washer, no extra for adjustment. Chainring is a bit on the small side but I can cruise comfortably in gears 5-7. 2-4 for uphill but 1 is just too low. Bonus: drivetrain is lovely and quiet now without the tensioner.
Switched out the handlebars for a riser, which sorted the twitchiness as my hands are no longer behind the steerer. Kept the short stem so I can fold the lid back properly.

I'm a little crushed to see the fork gone on this, but this now looks mad fun in a totally different way.

looks sick man

D lock tho

Dredge but do you know the seatpost diameter? Just picked one up, seatpost is supposed to be original but it slips even when tightening way beyond. Ta Jim

Not sure why you replied to me but I'll answer anyway. If the seatpost on a frame this old is slipping, it's possibly just warped/worn. Try a coke can shim. Or if it's really loose, measure the one in there and see if you can get a couple of mill wider one

Sorry my bad, question was not for you're good self but thanks for the advice, will give it a go, ta.
