Had a couple of new arrivals in the last few days. Most important of which was an FRM Web stem from ibbz. What a gent, and what a tremendous improvement. You have a good eye my man.
The brake bosses arrived. So they've been fitted along with the rear brake.
Cables: I've decided to try these for a bit of a change. I thought I'd try the Ice Gray instead of the regular black.
All I'm waiting for now is the seatpost- A Thomson, which should be here in about a week, as the vendor is on holiday....

There’s a matching FRM black scandium Seatpost on eBay right now but it’s 30.6mm
Really like the colour of the shifters and collar/stem cap - lovely classy colour contrast.

This is looking funky! Love the Mavics and the way they just blend in with the frame. And the stem is ace...
That’s looking as sweet as ever.
The black theme is really stealthy and damn cool. I wonder how much it weighs?
Personally I think the chainset would perhaps look better if it were to be changed to something more in tune with the look. A black chainset like this would like ideal and make the bike even lighter. Not necessarily this but say something black or darker - I guess a M950 would work.

Um, I'm thinking this is, for now, about finished.
Couldn't buy all the bits I wanted - some very nice things rocked up on here in the last couple of weeks - as I've got a house purchase about to complete, a car that is poorly, and I now have to be sensible. So it's a bit of a compromise build, using a number of parts I already had.
I've no doubt when common sense goes offline again parts will be replaced, but for now this is what I have...
I need to fine tune the gears, otherwise we're good to go
