Current Projects chat and miscellany

Finally got my favourite frame built up again:

The glossy black tape looks insanely tacky and I regret going for it but it does match my glossy black Sidis so I guess I can live with it. I have a brake and hoods to be fitted but need a shorter stem first (they will be on different bars with more reach). It will also be getting a Spinergy then as it's the only wheel I own with a braking surface.

Incidentally a wet rush hour was probably not the wisest time for MyFirstRoadPedals® but my feet seem to have learned to clip in pretty quickly which I'm putting down to the abject fear.

You not bringing Les to the seaside?
