I'm taking notes from your build thread, hopefully I won't find it that much like hard work!
I'm more likely to whack the old forks up for sale straight away - otherwise they'll just sit in my garage for three years taking up space - I have far too much "oh I might use that sometime" stuff in there already! Can't decide whether or not to paint the legs silver though, maybe I'll try them black and see how it looks.
When I say I don't ride hard - I perhaps mean that I don't hang off the bike scraping my knees and elbows on the floor at roundabouts - I don't potter around like Miss Daisy - I did manage to play with the quick boys in the intermediate group at a bike track day! Much to their horror when I turned up and took my luggage off then set about chasing them down with their slick tyres and "proper" bikes! My ol' sports touring tyres didn't like it much though, rear tyre looked like the dog had eaten it by lunchtime.
