Thanks Rob
I've bought 3 wheels off eBay since I started this build that were listed as 32h but when I received them they turned out to be 36's
Very frustrating!
36's I can get, 28's I can get but 32's are pretty rare...
There's 1 NOS 32h Vantage Pro on the Bay right now for a bargain £95 posted - but one's no good!

Why not go for 36h then? It's only 4 spokes, hardly a gigantic weight increase, and won't look any different.

It'd be a step backwards - I'm trying to do it right - every time I looked at the bike I'll be thinking "nice, but wish I'd waited for some 32's"...
... And the NOS hubs I already have are 32s.
Not a problem, I'll just do the wheels last
Decided to try out the Ritchey Expert rims & am happy enough to go with them
Tioga headset & GT lockring turned up
GT 'bar turned up
M735 cantis turned up (in black to match the U-brake) (NOS XT blocks on the way)
Nearly-new front mech on its way
Frame will be ready on Friday
Gotta work on sorting the decals in the meantime :?

I had a great week last week
An excellent front mech turned up from Cornholio's RC100
On Tuesday I got offered a job managing a bike shop and started on Thursday - I've been flat out there since & loving every minute.
On Thursday the polishers called to confirm the frame was ready - am off today so picking it up this morning & am interested to see the results. When the guy rang he seemed to want to stress that it wasn't an amazing job so I am hoping he hasn't ruined it... as long as there's more shine than when it went in i'll be happy enough...
The saddle is still sitting in GB customs :x
Pics of frame hopefully up this arvo & then I can start the build in earnest
