Shock horror I'm actually building one of my own bikes instead of resurrecting house clearance bikes / tip finds / stuff left at my workshop! 
After loosing 90% of of my tatty M900 group set in transit (thanks parcelforce
) the scruffy dogs bolx frame I brought (you know the one that had the seat post removed using heat) has been hung it the garage doing very little.
Whilst shuffling stuff between the workshop & the garage I decided to start having a clear out & limit the number of bikes at home (it's not going that well so far) However I decided to finally swap out the rst forks for some Rc35's on my Dave Russell & get some miles on it, only to find out the headtube doesn't hold the bottom headset cup tightly
This very quickly steered me to building the dogs with the Dave Russell as a donor.
I've made a start, the plan is to build a rider & if I like it I'll strip it & spend the money to make it as nice as it can get.
