Ha, thats exactly what I am aiming for.
Spent the afternoon in the workshop finishing off the mods to the frame and fork. I wasn't happy with the way the rear dropouts looked, they seemed too industrial. I needed only to take the smallest amount away from them to change the look entirely.

I also moved the brake hanger up about 10mm, there is now a better clearance above the tyre.

The forks also have been modified, the bottoms have been chopped and recapped.

One more thing to do to the forks, then I will get both painted.
