It's looking good @biggs682
Can I ask ?
Is the Selle saddle more streamlined ?

not sure what you are asking really but this is the one i try and do all my mileage on , i find them very comfy so much so that i have 2 set up on bikes

Ok,the Wester Ross would look great with a more slimline saddle.
As much as I love that bike you purchased,those saddles look farking pants.
Sorry if that offends btw.
You can get saddles that don't like donkey d*icks that are comfortable

i use them as they are meant to be good for enlarged prostate sufferers , by choice it would be a brooks professional or b17

Understood

Bit more tinkering this morning doing the headset and front brake cable, stem was tight coming out but hardly surprising.

Headset felt a bit dry but the bearings still had a layer of grease so a quick clean and some fresh grease and a polish then re assemble .



But the best to last was the use of this great Mafac brake spanner kit .

A bit more work this afternoon and the white brake cables are gone.

I would have liked gumwalls but didn't want to cough out for Panracers , but I am happy so far.

And the saddle looks ok ?

Yeah,sorry about that.
Now that I see it on the actual bike,it's a nice saddle no doubts
Have fun on it,and check back for the full skinny on how it rides.
Something tells me it will be
You have probably guessed by now that I'm quite taken by it

This looks just wonderful. A very classy and well made machine. Worth keeping.

friend of mine has just bought one of those B17 Imperial's with the cutout (he calls it his Brooks Imperineal ); not sure what he thinks about it yet, it's on his turbo trainer.
I like the new bar tape, it balances out the red frame with the guards nicely.

And... the saddle looks just fine on it - gives it a slightly modern twist!

@mikeymustard there is no bar tape , i just removed the foam grips i quite often ride without tape
