Time for an update! This has been to France and back with me (on the car, not riding sadly), and down a mountain while we were there. It still does around 70 miles a week commuting too.
I bought a nitto b123aa bar and then realised the 90mm stem was a bit long, luckily i managed to sell it and buy an new 80mm version without loss. Still not sure about track drops though, i spend about 85% on the tops so they really aren't getting used properly, although they do look awesome.
I also recently switched to clipless, i don't know why i didn't sooner, i love it. I went with the much loved time atac pedals and some specialised shoes from my lbs, sidi's are my next pair though for sure.
Oh yeah and i painted the seat tube properly, its not even a close match but its better than rust imo. New chain too, sram pc7.
Here is a few teaser pics of another project i need to finish, i need to go to the machine shop to get something made for the headset and it will be good to go, i'm just being lazy. :)
