Yes! You done a great job. Those forks look a good choice, and the sticker game is excellent but obviously it's cool to see a few originals. How is the Paint? For a local SE London job I think it was surprisingly durable. Anyway 10/10 v classy

Kind words from the king of utilitarian fixed, much appreciated! The paint is doing fine. However, my plan is to repaint (well, powder most likely) because a few small modifications are in order. The chainstay bridge mudguard mount threads have gone to the fjords, and the same for the bosses on the dropouts, so I'm planning to braze in replacements. I'd also like to lower the seat tube bottle bosses (currently using a topeak cage adaptor to get it lower) and to add a cable entry port under the down tube for a rear dynamo light routing.
Forks are surly crosscheck, which should really be on my other pomp which lives at the in-laws (they stay in rural Northumberland where the riding is great and we visit often).
Edit: the "holiday bike" is probably my all time favourite bike of the many I've assembled. Totally a parts bin job, but it is superb for my tastes.
