So, to bring a couple of the previous projects on here up to date:
Tandem of Dreams
Finished it with 10 speed XT, Spa cycles cranks and new long drop calipers. We didn't manage to use it at the wedding, there was just too much running around the night before and it was an easy thing to drop. Space is at a premium so I sold it on, rebuilt with the original parts, it was running much more smoothly than when we got it.
Waltly/Do it all project
I was all set to contact Waltly when I took a second look at the geometry of a couple of frames I had previously discounted. I realised that the 58cm rim brake version of the Brother Kepler was much closer to what I had drawn than on first look. Managed to get hold of a Flash, built it up with the parts from my Synapse. Loved it, had a blast but I have a child en route imminently and need to make space. That leaves me with a carbon road bike which is massively inappropriate for my commute, hence the Twenty project getting back on track.
Weirdly, I don't seem to have a single photo of it built up.
