Coming through the middle of Chester yesterday afternoon past the Grosvenor Museum from the roundabout.
Not going that fast to be honest; guy steams up to this give way on this side road, doesn't bother to look right when pulling out, narrowly misses a Transit van slowing down for the lights who has no other option but to swerve onto the curb leaving me to slam straight into the side of him.
I caught up with this idiot later on when he was trying to reverse parallel park into a space which blatantly wasn't big enough for his car and gave him a short lesson on using his eyes.
I might add that about 30 seconds after this incident took place, a Police car came up the other way through the lights, having missed the entire thing... bloody typical!

I snoozed and I lost!

Are the Daytona brakes still available? If so, how much?

I don't know what colour your frameset is but assuming it's blue, I'd go with black components as I have a similar setup, albeit not finished yet on my '07 flyer. Silver or white looks good on lighter coloured frames.
Chainsets are usually all eighth inch for FGSS setups but this thread should answer all your questions http://www.lfgss.com/thread1992.html.
For light riding, I'd look at either Charge or Miche cranks as they're quite durable but don't clean you out in the process. Definitely get the best bottom bracket that you can afford / want to dish out for as cheap ones usually don't last the ride home from the shop.
Velocity Deep V's / Mavic Open Pro's etc are usually built like a nuclear bunker so if you live in a pothole infested minefield, then these are definitely your first choice.
Risers are good for relaxed riding as are bullhorns. Drops with drop brake levers are also good if the headwind is sticking into you on your way back from work as you can get down low and shoot through it. I've run risers and drops before and I'm currently running Nitto bullhorns which happen to be the most comfortable bars I've had yet
A shot of my build can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/52887256@N05/8739019709/in/photostream and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/52887256@N05/8740143318/in/photostream/

No idea what they are, someone else might be able to identify them from the photo, but they may well be cheapo no name.
Gonna leave it then - Miche Primatos have got the better of me
-
I'm interested in the bottom bracket and cranks if they're going? Do you know what they are by any chance?
-
awesome price for an awesome wheel
-
That would be great!

I've got some sawn-off drops which you can have... 25.4mm clamp and 40cm wide as far as I'm aware

Can I dibs the pursuit bars pending pics?
Of course, pics will be up in a few minutes when I've worked out how to use my camera

Right, here is my answers to all the points you have raised
-
what's the width on these?
-
You may get £150 for it if the planets are aligned and a freak set of circumstances lead to someone desperately needing a wheel of this exact specification...
Not suggesting you drop, but £200 is a tad expensive
