Current Projects chat and miscellany

Stripped all the gash silver rattle-can off of my Sid Mottram to reveal what's left of a rather appealing sort of duck-egg colour. Not enough to rescue it, and some other colours going on in there too. I've stripped some of it off, but I quite like what's left on the seat tube, so I might leave it (will be my rat bike for now)...

The Mottram continues to gain momentum... Headset fitted yesterday. Looks good with the fork on properly. I think the proportions are quite good.

Parts acquired so far:
Saddle - Supercorsa
Cranks - Andel fluted with 44t 3/32 chainring
16t 3/32 Track cog
BB - Shimano basic sealed
Bars - Profile Airwings
Pedals - Suntor Superbe NJS (got to pick them up next week)
Wheels - Surly
Headset - Tange Levin
MKS alpha sport double Toe straps
Cross-top lever (I think it's the correct clamp)

Parts needed:
80 - 100mm long 26mm quill stem
Seatpost (unsure on size due to clamp issues)
Chain
Double toe clips
Front brake calliper (50mm drop)

Almost complete! I have to cut down the fork steerer too. Will do that this weekend I reckon.
