Oh, I'd forgotten all about this! Steamroller is built up and gets commuted on regularly. I'll dig out some pictures later on, but it turned out pretty nice for a parts bin build.
As for the SuperSix, another year goes by and it still hasn't been sent to a carbon repair shop. Instead, it sits in the corner of my room looking forlorn. Save a crankset and some brifters, I have everything needed to make a really nice summer bike out of it too.
Maybe 2024 is the year? I think a lot of the problem is that the repair will cost £300-£400 which is right in the 'just too expensive to just get on with' price range. And, as I don't NEED a summer road bike (much as I might want one), it always gets deferred in favour of other projects.
