Just getting a feel on how these need to be built?

Vaguelly remember Syncros and Shimano, maybe even campag?

Euclid, Centuar and Olympus are the only way with a pre 90s white spider, the flowing components just look right against the fillet brazing. DB was Record OR (or at least Justin Lorentz' one was). I think Dave Hemming's was XT but then that was 'a bike to be raced' which would exclude campag instantly. Pace RC35s seemed to be the fork of choice from Dave Hemmings WS onwards. The Aston Martin bike was XTR and Manitou forks and BRG IIRC.

Great help Pete - yay

There was also a Red Aston Martin with XTR and colour coded forks (Couldn't make it out in the picture) that sold for about 10K at auction a while back.... Was in a Top Gear Mag

My mates one was Suntour XC pro MD, Royce, Syncros pro-post and stem, roberts painted bars. The cranks flexed into the stays though with a little 'clink'. . .
Looked cool all black and white. Hey- you need my black and solver cranks!

Mine (your old one Jez) is M900 XTR and Syncros kit - complete with Syncros cranks.

Pace - I didnt put Syncros and XTR on there originally did I?

I think I bought it with full XT?

Kev's old DB had XC Pro MD on it when he had it.

You sold it to me with Syncros post, stem and white flite.

I added Syncros cranks and full M900 XTR
