Haven't properly photographed things yet, but here are a few teasers:
It's rather cobbled up right now, but I am excited..

Can't wait to see some better pictures. I'm with due route: It's pretty hard to go wrong with orange!

Interesting that the front dropouts are Campy, the rear Cyclo! I saw that on another one, and thought it must be a replacement fork. I guess not!
I have mine set up with a Sturmey Archer S5 hub, Soma Lauterwasser bars, Weinmann side pull brakes. I've been commuting on it for the last few months. It's a fun bike.
The orange paint should be easy enough to match and touch up.

I need some help with saddle/bar tape combos. I am getting Soma Sparrows (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4144/5...a47786c5_z.jpg) and will run them turned down with Dia Compe inverse levers (or maybe Tektro rx 4.1 instead). Housing will be white (or maybe brown) and tires will be Pasela Tourguards.
I have a bit of the VO sew-on elkhide covers (in espresso/honey) that would work with a Brooks, but I'm not sure if the orange paint/honey saddle works in this case.
I could do a white or brown Selle San Marco Rolls too, with white/brown Newbaums cloth.
I am leaning more towards the white/brown combinations than anything else. Thoughts?
