Thanks very much!
Just need a nice headset, and then I can start assembling.. I will post this process picture by picture (since I've still got 43 weeks left ; It would be nice to finish the project at the beginning of the summer.. )

Brake Calipers arrived today! Ive spent a half hour cleaning/removing rust/polishing them and I'm pretty pleased with the result:

Also saved a few grams by changing the rusty washers with new ones,
and the Fork already has the allen key nut in it, so I could leave that out, which makes the total weight of the brakes 283grams

If I went for Campagnolo calipers, only SR or Record-D Skeletons would be a few grams lighter.. So this is the perfect budget alternative for light weight brakes -> They are (most likely) a Tektro R740 Road Brake Set btw
