Cheers Paul!
Had the afternoon off, fitted all the gear cables, pedals, grips (annoyingly the Raceface ones I'd decided to use were badly splitting & I didn't notice till I fitted them) moved the front mech to allow for the bigger chainwheel & hey presto!
Rides surprisingly well.
I've pretty much built this in three or four days, I've not been that fussy with it & it's been the easiest (& because of this possibly) most satisfying build in a long time
