Do it, I love these frames. Be aware the headset is probably JIS which means if you want to replace it with an ISO headset you'll need to dremel 0.2mm out of the headtube and cut down the crown race seat on the fork - it's a 5 minute job for a framebuilder.
Nice one thanks. I did end up stripping the headset apart this morning, I had decided against it after the nightmate of the crank and BB removal, but figured it couldnt get worse than those! Any ideas of a good frame builder in london? I'm also looking out for a frame building course/workshop
