Cheers doppelkorn and Chris Borneo, yeah hopefully it'll be nice. The thinking was to have a budget winter bike / commuter so that I can stop abusing my road bike. A lot of the parts I already had, and the frame and fork are about as cheap as it's possible to get, and many of the parts I've bought are as budget as can be (at least when bought new) - so if it ends up looking nice and performing well then that would be awesome. By the way, if anybody likes the yellow bar tape, it's £2 at On One (case in point about cheap parts, and ignore what it says about pvc leather look, it's cork), and it seems like perfectly decent stuff.
