This is virtually finished now. All it needs is some fettling of the drivetrain and a proper set of pedals on it (currently testing it with a beat up old pair of rubber dutch-style pedals that came off my missus' Raleigh Twenty...), I'm thinking about a pair of A520 or A600 (if I'm feeling flush) SPDs.
First impression, it rides beautifully. I've never had a proper, lightweight steel bike before and it's so, so different from the alu, cro-mo and gaspipe I've been used to. The Spoon saddle is super comfy, I'm going to put one on my other bike as well. Photos to follow when I've fitted proper pedals and decided whether to desticker the rims.
