fabulous job with it, have really enjoyed following along!

headset -

at intake it appears to be wearing a Thomas D. Cross & Sons Ltd Model S







in the completed build the lower stack appears to remain the model S while the upper stack appears to have been replaced with a model Continental Italia -



is this correct?

steerer -

in image of completed machine first thing noticed was the CL chainset and pedalset

this made me eyes go straight to the headset as immediately wondered if Hobbs may have employed a CL steerer

since it was possible to mount a Thomas D. Cross & Sons Ltd headset am thinking steerer must be thirty-two thirty-twoths rather than thirty-one thirty-twoths

hydration -

the Colorals appear brandy new
had not known they were in production

are they now being manufactured as repops or did company relaunch at some point?

whenever find one or more at a jumble sale or similar the stoppers are ever in non-attendance
have noticed some folks using simple corks for C&V events
the little lanyard/keeper on plastic bottles is a well-merited feature...

a treat to see the Reynolds stem with double binder; the Centrix stem & bar manufacturer of France also did some stems with double binders
