Yes it is.!
These wheels are fitted with 23mm tyres, hence it is a little gappy but with say 25mm tyres and guards, i think it will look fine.

I bought these for the parts, so the frames are now redundant, they are also way to big for me.

I was going to ask if you had glued the tyres on and taken the bike out for a proper spin but it sounds like you still have plenty to do.
id forgotten about this @veloham, ive just been through the photos again, its a great build and i love the colour, im just thinking about colours for my 1946 Gillott. Would Orchard pink have been a thing back then?
