Thanks for those comments Mr SIMPSON. In September last year I jumpped into the renovation a bit quick and went a bit mad on ebay buying parts I thought I wanted on the finished bike. However, 10 months on and a lot of research later I have realised my mistakes and finally got the bike looking how I really want it to look and to a rideable state. As my first ever restoration I am really pleased with how it looks and rides (anyone from Reading looking for an unused set of baby blue deep V singlespeed wheels or a blue San Marco saddle as they will be on Ebay soon?)
The wheels will change again when I can get some more money to buy a nice set and so will the bottom bracket but as the sun is out I'm gonna get on it and ride it.
Thanks to Unimet painters in Reading, Tony from Retro Cycles in Ascot and anyone who sold me parts.
