Help and loads of parts

yo, so i'm still missing certain parts from my build(this is my frame). As i have no specialist tools i'm going to be taking it to Perlie Rides (www.perlierides.com) to get it built for me. He is able to supply me with the below parts, but he's not going to have enormous choice, and it will all be new stock, so i can imagine it's gonna be the straws that break the camels back.

the list runs thus:

a chain
a sprocket (dunno what size to choose, i'm running 49 - Miche Advanced in front)
a headset - want something silver
a bottom bracket.(english thread, the hole measures 35 across)
a brake lever
a seat post - 26.4 i think, the seat post

it's slowly getting shorter, but very slowly, and i'm running out of cash...

anyone got anything going spare? tires for instance could be any old things knocking about, and i'll replace them when i've replenished my hordes of treasure..

any help would be greatly appreciated!

au revoir, van damage

thanks p!mp, and everyone for your help so far...

Just updated the list with measurements etc.

found out they are gonna charge me £40 for the build, and they only have the 17 shimano un52 bb and it's 17 quid, what do people think of that?

this is all helping greatly, cheers

Do you need brakes? I've got these floating around.. from a previous post that I'm willing to give to good causes.. http://www.londonfgss.com/thread6674.html

Might need new pads but with cleaning and oil will work a charm!

we have loads of spare bits at our house, and if you bring your frame and all your parts over, we can help you throw it all together.

we have open toolbox almost every sunday morning (http://www.londonfgss.com/thread4716.html), and this sunday is definitely happening so if you want to pop over, we'd be more than happy to help.

cool, ta Horatio. I guess I dont like it when my legs go around too fast. so would that be more like the 18?

@ eyebrows: cool, good idea, I think i'll try and get it done with mary and small brown bike, but if i fail, then i'll let you know...

@JD_: thanks! but no, i dont need brakes, cheers though keeping an eye out!

@Mary : thanks for the tip! I'm away on sunday though, but i'll pm you for more info, ta!
