what a beauty. Really nice tasteful colour scheme as well.
what's your bottom bracket and crank length? just out of interest because thats the last bit I haven't decided on my bike (record cranks). And how do you do the bartape? -

BB was a 109 mm Shimano (spit) sealed one. Couldn't be arsed to wait.
Cranks are 165mm Miche polished.
Tape was leather from a wholesaler that I cut and stitched. -

Got some waxed stuff from an online store.
Finished the Harry Hall last week and finally managed to take some pics.
Cheers to Wayne for the frame and Roberto for various bits and bobs.
Rides like a dream.
