i think you're right, the straps definitely have to go... from an older build, just like the black seat post. the lever is at that angle because it it on the flat of the riser. Got the frame for an absolute bargain by emailing the guy, it has font down the front blade of the forks too which i love.
will get round to sourcing parts for this one day, at the moment it's a bit of a beater with 700*32 tyres and deep v's, just enjoying riding it - took me a long time to find a frame that actually fits!
...having said that, i think the wheels look much more 'garish' in the photo than in real life.
