Got wheels out today, that I had earmarked for the bike, and gave them a wash. IMG_0912 by Michael Murray, on Flickr XT, with Wolber AT20 rims, 11-28 7-speed cassette, and some Ritchey Force 2.0 tyres. Look lovely! Assembled the forks, cut down the steerer tube, allowing for a 5mm spacer, and fitted them. So, here's how it looks now. IMG_0913 by Michael Murray, on Flickr The seatpost is temporary, just for holding it in the workstand. IMG_0914 by Michael Murray, on Flickr The handle bar pinch bolt is grotty, so hope to replace it with something nicer when I get the chance. IMG_0915 by Michael Murray, on Flickr Getting there, Mike
