ya - that M-900 groupo sure will suit the frame color nicely!

Very very nice! Are you going for Smoke 700C?
I had an early hybrid once (Specialiced so not comparing with this beauty...) and it drove so nice.
Had a as a commuter for a while.

Re:

I'm sticking with the road tyres to get it going and I won't be holding on to it so I will leave the decision of what off-road tyres to fit to a new owner. Not retro I know but there are some nice looking modern options, but yes Smokes would be great on it.

Re:

Almost completed, just need to seat the lower headset seal and polish the top tube. I've ridden it a little and it's flippin' fast being so small, light and stiff.

It is clearly too small for me, I'm 5'10, looking at the length of exposed seat post but it didn't feel as small as I thought it would. If the MC1 was longer I might of got away with, it just feels abit short as it is, which I knew it would.

I'll sort the spec sheet out later and do some better pics but here's a few tasters.

Re:

Got Mrs G out on this for a few laps of the block with the lad too, I put an old silver post in so I didn't have to risk marking the new Thomson post near the top!

Along with the Gator Rascal I was on they both looked great in the sun
