Current Projects chat and miscellany

I've finally managed to have a bit of a fiddle with my new frame, a lovely and light Reynolds 853 Donohue. Terrible picture attached. I should hopefully get a bit more time to finish it off next week. It's getting carbon forks (and a brake for emergencies), omniums, a black alien seatpost, an SLR saddle, hoods and SPD SL pedals (as well as all the less exciting bits that make up a bike). I'm setting it up as a sensible and comfortable fixed to do some longer rides on and having my mielec as a pub bike and beater.

Why change the fork on that beauty? Keep them on, they look great and I am sure they will ride great too.
