After stripping the headset and finding shards of alloy and a mullered fork race, swapped the headset for a new Miche one - fitted it myself this time, works perfectly.
Took the bike out for a short 15mile run and averaged 17.5mph (on a 50/17t gear) and fastest of 29.3mph. Not too bad in and out of traffic.
Rear wheel went rather soft, but really happy with the ride, but may go for some bullhorns as the I don't find the bars particularly comfortable. Any suggestions?i
