Just received my bar tape from Dave Marsh. Looks really nice (ordered 2 lots so I can double wrap) and I once again wholeheartedly endorse the service I've had from Dave and Catherine. They're like another Hillary Stone of hard to find NOS bits but are actually communicative and pleasant to deal with ;)
I have also, at last, found a seat post collar. It's a Magistroni one (same as the one that falconvitesse has on his Hobbs) and it too is coming from the US. I learnt long ago to purchase stuff regardless of the location as who knows when you'll see another again!
Just waiting on the tyres and the seat-post collar to arrive now and can finally put everything together. Seems like this has been the longest build ever to grace the pages of LFGSS.
Would also like to hear peoples first hand accounts of applying the great beetle secretion that is shellac. Did you mix it up yourself with flakes or buy it premade? How many coats did you use?
Cheers
Pete
