The order from Chain Reaction Cycles has been sent. The order contains all sorts of bits and pieces to build up the bicycle. A steel fork is also on its way from Wiggle. That fork is black and the plan is to paint it British Racing Green (or Jaguar Green, or Brooks Green).

I'd like to get the Brooks handlebar tape, but the way I go through handlebar tape, the price is a little scary. So I'm still looking for some green handlebar tape that isn't "lime" or "neon" or "Italian".

And while I'm at it, I'm keeping my eyes open for a green helmet and green gloves.
