Thanks for all the kind words everyone, much appreciated
Totally agree with the post above regarding the top tube / stem symmetry. I tried explaining it to my wife but she just looked at me with a vacant stare
The wheels are nothing special, Vuelta Airline rims on STX RC hubs. They do the job though but I might be looking to change those first if I do do anything further to it.

That looks rather epic .......I’m in the middle of my own teenage lust project ( elevated chain stay )and if it looks anywhere near as good as yours will be well happy ....here’s dipping my hat to you

Cheers, it helps that I have a full stocked paint scheme and spray booth at my disposal when it came to the painting bit. The actual building was mostly new to me especially square taper bottom brackets, threaded headsets and quill stems so it took a bit of working out and some new tools for the shed.
Look forward to seeing yours when done, sounds like a nice project

Haha thanks Paul, no inference meant with the ‘rough’ bit. When you’re used to working on high end vehicle accident repair you tend to see plenty of defects in the paint! It was free of dents and dings to be fair
