I should warn you though, once I have something being sent over that one thing mysteriously morphs into three or four things!! ;D

It's the best way to do it :LolLolLolLol:

My mate said "yes" to bringing the pads over, so I've just put in my order! If all goes to plan, I should get my hands on them mid-Sept, which gives me a few weeks to get the build going! :daumenhoch:
Chilli Rinse:
Nice one, glad you're sorted. I think they will look great on the build fistblump
Mikku:
I bloody well hope so or you're off my Christmas card list! :P
Assuming that they do look the part, then I'm thinking this plate could be the icing on the cake! 8)

Okay, so when I first picked up this frameset, I thought about doing a stealthy, all-black build. I then thought about adding a bit of gold, not only because I like the John Player Special look but also because I already have some gold parts I could use. However, I then started to use some of those gold parts on my GT, namely Promax cranks and brake lever, so a new idea came to mind:- go for silver instead of gold. Again, this was mainly due to having some suitable parts lying around and not wanting to spend any more money! :daumenhoch:
So below is a picture of the Shimano DXR cranks, a Shimano BB and that Kalloy post that I recently picked up. In addition, there's a DXR brake caliper hidden in a box somewhere, which should tie in things nicely, assuming I can find it. Everything else will be black, including the bars, stem, grips, lever, cable, seat post clap, rims, hubs, chainring and pedals. I have some time off work coming up, so the plan is to stop talking and start building next week. Updates and progress pics to follow. :)
