Just remember to let a bit of air out before you set off! - someone i know cough pumped their new tubs up to 160psi after mounting them and forgot before riding through Edinburgh - tiny bit of glass = written off brand new tub :'(

You don't need to carry tape if you have glued on your tubs, just glue the spare, let it dry, fold it up and carry it. Tub glue is a contact adhesive and the two dry glue surfaces will bond to each other when you need them to.
An alright tutorial here; http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/workshop-how-to-fit-tubular-tyres-23929/
and if you've some time on your hands there are 180 pages of tub chat here; http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=72309 tl:dr use three coats of glue on rim and one on tyre, never use tape - that's for wrapping presents.
And finally, don't stretch tubs like the OP it's a nice way to damage your expensive new tubs.

Those are lovely looking, i'm sure you'll have higher prices and a healthy waiting list very soon! :)

Is the hole big enough for a threaded one to sit in or to grip an end cap? Just bung it in and sort it when you get something appropriate - it's not like you actually need the barrel adjuster to set it up anyway.

Someone on Singletrackworld was using some tubing from B&Q as full length outer for their BB7s - I'll see if i can find the post - makes sense for compressionless outer where it doesn't need to move.
ah-ha!
(sorry for HUGE image) -
Interested to see how you get on; I spent way too long looking at that ^^ blog last night instead of cramming for today's exam :/
-
Is that ^^ an inflatable aero helmet?!
-
I wander if it is one of these: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/syncros/rp20-chromo-rail-saddle-ec049609 Could always order one and send it back if it's not the same, good thing about it being Evans is you can take it back to a shop even if you ordered online, saving yourself return postage.
-
or a Charge Steamer?

there can no such thing as a "Sunday best" bike to be babied around if all your bikes are "Sunday best" bikes: just ride the hell out of all of 'em when it's wet, dry, cold or warm!
Totally agree, whats the point of having them if they don't get ridden?! Saying that; my next bike is going to be a cheapish frame built up with my scruffy Ultegra group as I'm a 4th cat and there is too much crashing to have anything too nice :)
And back on topic - that is lovely! The Busyman saddle is a nice finishing touch too, Mick does some great work.
-
Did i see a picture of you and the bike united somewhere on the internetz yesterday?
-
Should note that's from 2002. Views change, experience is acquired, etc.
Prices (&costs) mutiply...

That's awesome, like it a lot - i have similar ideas for fixed wheel testing but between too many project plans swimming around my head (i really should stop lurking on this forum!) and not being sure if i'll be able to make any of the club 10s this summer I think i'll try and put it on the, very, back burner.

Awesome result, I nearly fell off my chair shouting at the screen when Dan rode across to Purito; then he jumped!
Almost nipped to the bookies this morning after seeing GLs cheeky fiver comment, wish i had now :'(
