I never did get the BB out. I will take it to a workshop when it does finally go but the chainline works and it rides okay. The canti brakes were fiddly to set up but I fitted the headset myself with no problems (never done one before). Been for a quick test ride and it fits me well and handles...
It ended up being a bit of a British build where possible to compliment the Dawes frame/Pace forks. A few Hope parts, x-lite bars and a Brooks Cambium saddle which I know isn’t made in Britain but I like the look anyway.
There were a few changes of plans along the way. Plus life got in the way and I lost inspiration for a bit. I definitely spent a bit too much money on purple anodised bit but I do like the purple accents and it’s my favourite colour.
I bought a 16” one recently and only paid £50 plus £25 to ship. Yours is probably a more useful size for more people and the sun is starting to shine so maybe you will get more.
These are awesome frames but lack retro cool factor GLWS
