My vantage is now a horizon
Longstaff's have been brilliant with working with us to transfer what worked from the previous bike, and creating from new what didn't.
Just given my Long Haul Trucker a makeover. Gone is the white bar tape and saddle, most of the black bits have been been replaced: silver bars, stem, seat post, mudguards, tan faux leather bar tape and saddle, and Panaracer Paselas with amber sidewalls.Surly Long Haul Trucker by Tompy, on Flickr
Nice faux-classic look.My tourer has a mix of black and silver accessories, and I'm not sure which way to go with it.
n+1 ...Still needs a bit of work to make it rideable, though

Of course a new carradice bag in honey and green -colour co-ordination right to the last detailThat looks very nice with the understated frame colour, sliver bits and amberwalls Which bar tape is that? It appears jsut the right colour to match a Brooks honey saddle?

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

What length stem is that 120mm?How effective is that rear light on the saddle bag? seems to point down a tad.
