Final bits arrived last weekend and were fitted. Much happier with the Rond headset - fits the build much better. Spent the rest of the time fettling the C2's - they are dragging a bit and still need tweaking.
Took the bike for a spin on Sun - towing a trail gator
Pics to follow.
Also weighed it - 10.16 kg on some luggage scales. Which makes it a smidgen over 22lbs
I do have plans for a different saddle - waiting for one of the below to appear
As for the steerer I don't think it's fair to the next owner - 17" oranges have very small head tubes - if I was to cut it down anyone else would struggle to use it. It took me 6 months to find that one so they may not be mega rare but they are certainly cherished - the only other one I came across was a members here who was hoarding a nos one in his loft.
