Haha! Very kind of you Alex thankyou, I reckon i'll take you up on this offer if my purchase of an old claud butler dalesman goes through. Reynolds 531 frame too - looking forward to seeing it in person.

I hope the dalesman works out for you. I spent a good bit of time looking for something like that, bought a couple of random frames which didn't work out too well. One had a cracked fork crown brazing and the other turned out to be plain gauge. Ended up buying the 531c Mercian.
I can lend you some wheels while you build or buy some. You might be converted to the six bolt cog.

I know a guy who had his bike with halo wheels stolen a few days ago too. If you are in Cambridge then you'd be welcome to borrow my truing stand, and even a little help to build the wheels or true them up.
I'm not sure how even my spoke tensions are but they suffice for commuting.
