Very nice! I have the same Silca pump on my Mr Pink, it fits very pleasingly above the top tube on the extended headtube, allowing room for a frame bag underneath. Which brakes are you using? I've got some second-hand Tektro ones that don't give me much confidence descending at all, I'm looking to upgrade before the weather turns.

Cheers. Put my Topeak Road Blaster pump back on, gonna sell the Silca (don't need both, and the Silca will go for more coin).
The brakes are Tektro r539, will Koolstop pads, just change the pads, the brakes work fine, but stock pads are shit. But better brakes wise, you're looking at TRP or Velo Orange.

Cheers! I think I might go for the TRPs when I get paid. The brakes I have at the minute are fine for razzing around London/Surrey in the dry but had a couple of hilly rides in Yorkshire recently and they weren't really up to it.
