Aside from a few minor parts - a few bolts here and there - I think everything is on its way to get the bike built.
Brakes - Tektro RL340 levers, Acor brakes
Handlebar - Maes ITM drop bar, on a 10cm quill stem, with White cork tape
Rims/Wheel/Hub - Raleigh made, though UTFS-ing tells me they have mixed experience with the hubs. We will see :/
Seat - White Charge Spoon, on the original seat post (polished!)
Chainset / Cranks - Shimano 42t, length 170mm
Pedals - System EX road pedals (plus straps by the devils falcon)
Tryes - Continental Ultra Sport road tyres.
Chain - Wipperman single speed in silver (and a chain extractor tool).
Until the headset and bottom bracket are available at my LBS the only progress I've made is re-greasing the seat-post. The grease matches the colour scheme too.....
I need to suss out now how to fit the sprocket and lockring - need to get a whip somewhere I think, and then the cabling for the brakes. Unless I can pick up some tools fairly cheap to fit the bottom bracket, the LBS will be doing that along with the new headset.
Woo, progress. I've only had the frame for 12 months too.
I'm also in search of a pannier rack and a multi-tool of some description. Not sure what as yet though. The lock of course, will be the Fahg.
