it does however now have a sturmey archer thumb shifter with the ugly plastic bit removed for blingy chromeness, and brooks grips are on their way.

My new project is going down the same lines. I'm waiting in for the big van of lovelyness to turn up as I write.

Ever noticed that white van man drives really slowly when it's something you're waiting for? tarts! ;)
