Truth is I fell out of love with the project for several reasons; I got ill and couldn't ride anyway, there was an awesome lugged Caflee gravel bike that came up on ebay that I couldn't justify given this project that soured my taste, the seatpost cost about a billion pounds as I needed a donor post, but forgot to buy the rail adapter at the same time so 2xpost, 2x exorbitant haulage, plus (very reasonable labour). The post owes me almost as as the frame.
Oh and I've chipped the paint twice despite hanging in the bedroom.

The flame could be rekindled.
