No new pics to share (yet) but progress is being made! Have been talking to Sam from Stayer Cycles here and there, and he's kindly offered to drill the rear bridge for running a brake, so the bike's with him now. The rear brake is more for confidence and preference (subject to terrain). I intend to run fixed but want to have the freewheel fallback option - especially for when I join road group rides or where there's a bit more ascents/descents.
Also received the carbon Look fork I got from here - it's beautiful (I mean it's Look). I did remove the tape and peeling deals from it though, to keep the minimal clean look. No issues running a 25c tyre with my Campag Mirage brakes either. Foolishly though, I forgot that with a threadless steerer, I need the extra tube length, and there's just about enough room on this Look one. Will probably need to use a lower stack headset just to have some wiggle room.
