Went out for a ride in the sun yesterday.
As predicted upthread, the Brooks bar plugs have long since fallen out, so have some black Cinelli ones in there now. I think it looks better on reflection.
Though just as my Brooks is breaking in nicely it's developed a bit of a creak when hitting any nasty bumps. Apparently it's the leather / bolt join at the front that usually squeaks and should be solvable with a bit of lube.
Can't wait to get the wheels built up but that'll be another month or so until I can afford the bits.
Picked up some completely inappropriate tyres in the Planet X sale to go on the wheels once they're finished.
