Finally got to see my new bike, the 853 Donohue lo-pro:
Apart from the Ellipses and a 105 headset, it's not a great build. Also not actually rideable as it's brakeless and the chainring bolts are all loose. I have a new chainset but have lost my crank puller somewhere.
Half-link chain, worn cog and chainset are all off, and the bars and stem have already been swapped for a black quill and spotter bars (as used by spotter, which means he now doesn't actually own any any more) with Sram S300 levers.
Also, my parents were keeping it in the greenhouse, and being unlacquered raw steel, it didn't like that too much, so I also have to decide on a colour scheme and decal design.
