Hope to be out if I can get the winter bike sorted; if not may need to be the summer bike and sit at the back (no change there then...) if that is ok with the Faster / Longer Bunch committee.

Chung, I think this project justifies a Brooks B17, any other saddle is a mere imitation - you might even be able to get one in a matching colour. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/brooks-england-b17-titanium-saddle/

Hope to be out with a large elastic band, or should that be gastric band?

The good folks over at WeightWeenie insist I put one of these on the Arabesque: https://www.merlincycles.com/san-marco-regale-evo-carbon-road-saddle-2017-101295.html Which would match, however my back side is not big enough, so have ordered a Brooks Cambium C13 instead: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/brooks-england-cambium-c13-saddle/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=5360734325&kpid=5360734325&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mckv|ss0HRYFi5_dm|mcrid|295292317327|mkw||mmt||mrd|5360734325uk|mslid||&mkwid=ss0HRYFi5_dm&pcrid=295292317327&prd=5360734325uk&pgrid=58852352866&ptaid=pla-586295263117&gclid=CjwKCAiAgrfhBRA3EiwAnfF4tvFoK0UcGMoDRqveyxFmmL5D7LuhGB8pF5BPA583S0Uwz66Ndz2yKhoCPQYQAvD_BwE Hopefully it’ll work for me!

Looks very similar to the track BB so if bearings are the same size spares won’t be an issue. love the colour of your bike and the seat pin, are you going leather seat? You can still get that frame it’s a bit dearer than the master , hoping Juergen will source a 54 master Art Deco sometime after May

On the CTT website it shows Loudon road club are running an early season TT up at Glencoe. Which is a long way from Ayrshire so presumably they will be focusing on that rather than doing the Galston TT this year.
