Ive done a lot since the last month. Quill stem, handle and grips all from origin8 has arrived and more from them for the future such as the pedals, double cage toe clips and double toe straps. In addition, the tange has just arrived by the royal mail from UK. The frame and fork has been paint removed, sand down to raw steel and sprayed with 3 layers of primer paint. 2 more layers or primer and the main colour goes on.

Still waiting for the gold eighthinch cranks and tools for the build. Wheelset have yet to be ordered. Some other parts also include the headset, saddle and seat post
