nothing to report Sir!!
The project thread is here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16860
But im waiting on a bunch of stuff getting delivered, none of which I can actually attach to the bike though....missing some crucial parts
Oh yeah. Beautiful frame.
IMO - ceramic rims, skinwalls (must).
M900 throughout. Black where you can to match the decals. No more than a few matching ano bits (ie. seatpost and stem)

Black M732 cantis are hard to find, FYI. your Ano selection could look great, just make sure it matches

Going (slightly) off topic on my own thread
I'm thinking of Pauls or Grafton canti's and yeah, getting ano to match is my current turmoil (Chris King blue seems way darker than Ringle/Cooks/Grafton/Pauls) :evil: :evil:despite the fact ameybrook was being somewhat tongue in cheek, my next build is acyually based around no more than a stem. I have lots of other bits now, but no frame. or forks. so its not so much a build as a small box of nice stuff. I do have a theme though (too expensive to build/failed companies/just plain mad)...
I continually set myself a budget. then find something i prefer so buy that. then kind of figure i may as well make the rest of it top notch. then get carried away.
thats no help at all is it?
still, your Funk looks awesome.

My GT RTS started as a green USE bar that nobody wanted . I think origianl owner was orange71 .
I bought it , then though , green is good , lets carry on .

I'm building a rigid Pace 200 singlespeed. Might take some time.
Parts so far:
USE red handlebar, black USE stubbies, Pace carbon front hub, pair of black NOS Porcipaws, full set of replacement frame bolts in Ti
Next step - stem, 100mm Pace
Then forks, headset (Hope red)
then a frame , wheels, brakes etc
