Re:

I am officially a wheel builder now
Took me about 10 mins to lace the wheel.
And about 30 mins tensioning the spokes.
And another 20 - 30 mins truing.
But I got the wheel true within a fraction of a mm.
I am well chuffed.

Re:

Some more progress. Fitted the saddle and got the front brakes fitted and working.
I need to dish the rear wheel then I can set up the rear brakes.
I also fitted the freewheel and the front & rear mechs and the thumb shifters and the pedals.
