The start position

Frame and forks are really in 'rider' condition but frame is in great shape with no rust issues or damage. Keeping these RC 31 Ti forks as they really suit the frame ( amazing handling ) and fitting Manitou 1, 3 & 4 fork combo in AF to match as per original FCC specs.
Waiting for custom Ti steerer. Thanks to Argos Cycles in Bristol for supplying the correct touch up paints and for general advice.

Future plans. Checking out AF paint jobs on here and Fatcogs first by some of the best in the business before I commit to a respray sometime next year. Almost there with the parts. The dream for 2014 is to ride the SDW on it.
Even our postman knows what a Yo Eddy is now

just a few more packages and some decent weather and I'm there
