Thanks for all your enthusiastic replies - it's really heartened me. I'm getting a "Baum", he's a local maker here in Victoria, Australia and has a great reputation. The guy that does the sales is really good. It will be steel, but because I'm pretty tiny (4'11") so the frame shouldn't be much over 1kg. We did a fit last week, but I'm going to see him tomorrow to choose colours - I'm tempted to go for the red. Anyway here is the bike (again) and a close of up of the jacket. (I'm not a regular poster and having trouble putting these on as pictures). In real life the jacket is a bit more of a brighter red. I'd be interested to see if you think it matches or clashes!
Thanks again!
