Nice! I really like that - it looks about the same size as my UO - 62ish cm? That's how I'd eventually like to do mine, but we'll see how funds hold out after the g/f's birthday present, and a bunch of other projects. Being a rider (and fixed gear - I kinda like it that way), it's down on the list...
