You’re the man! But if you can’t find it, no biggie, the SR fluted post I bought will work and look great.

I love the way your project is coming together.

Looks GREAT.

Choose your bottle cages well.

There are carbon ones out there in the same weave, or you can go with Elite Ciussi stainless (Inox), for contrast to the frame and a bit in line with the lugs.
The fork is packed. It's polished, like a mirror, so will be pretty cool. The seat post, I think, is in my storage unit (packed up for the Brazen Dropout swap meet that the weather nixed for me)
I'd not recommend the "thick-wired" bottle cages. They look a bit bulky. Velo-Orange, or something like a King. They're out there, Mulder.

Yup, I do believe a carbon cage is in order.

We’ve got a roller. Will replace the fork with the aluminum one Robbie is sending me, but I like the way it’s coming together!
