Good luck with your build. Hope we see it on here sometime. Enjoy!

That's brilliant! :) Pure coincidence - just happened to be looking at Argos' website last night whilst researching for my next project (a Raleigh Randonneur or similar.) Hope you get it then. Happy cycling! 👍

Updated my initial post now. Definitely looking for a 58. Many thanks to kermisking above for the offer and subsequent chats which've been a real help in working out the sizing etc. Cheers 👍

Sorry to hear that the Concept 90's off the road David (no injuries I hope.) I had mine repaired by Bob Jackson. Needn't be too expensive especially if you can find a cheap way to get it resprayed afterwards. BTW, if you ever think of getting rid of yours I might be interested in the forks (if...
