Just a quick mock up - wondering what you think about the crankset and seatpost? I need a good 20cm of seatpost showing for my long legs so swapped a Thomson over. Any suggestions for something as long but perhaps a little more period looking?
Is the crankset a bit modern and shiny too?
Debating over a cross top lever (seems difficult to find classic looking ones that can also pull enough cable) or a bar end lever. A bar lever like a Dia Compe 188 perhaps: http://www.tokyofixedgear.com/products/115-Brake-Levers/325-Dia-Compe---188-Reverse-Leavers---SilverBrown/.
Black cloth tape for the bars, and will replace the white concor with a black one....or perhaps a brooks.
It's a 25c gatorskin on the front, which is why the clearances look especially tight. Will swap this out for a 23c.
