On the rear dropout, don't forget to set the adjuster screw as far back as possible. If you can do this, the mouth ends of the dropouts are slightly pinched. The axle end for the front hub doesn't look so oversize that it's the next size up.

Indeed you were all quite right thank you! I haven't done the rear wheel yet but as you mentioned I put the wheel in slightly differently after viewing the pics and had no problems. See pics below but I think this is going to work out really nicely if I have the same result in the back! I will run the wheels tubeless as I always do. I think the black rim with silver brake track will accentuate the bike nicely. Still need to source a good quality Campy drive train in good shape. If anyone has any idea beyond the usual ebay which I check fairly regularly I'm all ears!
