gellie roadster

So after much delay I have finally finished messing with the bike and am almost happy with it. Still deciding on a new saddle (maybe a rolls) and maybe leather bar tape to match.
The end result in the current format was 9.4 kgs bare weight when built, which for a 60cm traditional frame (I know it looks like a farm gate) is not to bad.
The frame is a mix of beefy True Temper tubes all fillet braised together with a few extras thrown in such as chain peg, diamond shaped water bottle bosses etc.
I aimed for a classic finish with a white panel and metallic blue paint, which has come up nicely.

Is this a 1" or 1 1/8" head tube? And what can you say about the Reynolds fork? Stiff enough? Nice ride, by the way... :)
