Big thank you to Regan for the tyres,

I'm doing pretty well at the moment about 95% there, the main thing that I can't find seems to be a bit of a struggle which is the anodised grey campagnolo thorr rims, I originally thought that the rims were Mavic M231CD ones but having done a bit more looking into it somebody had mentioned a conversation with Jo Burt that they were the campagnolo thorr rims.

It had Magura hydrostops and XT (with Campag Thorr rims) as far as I recall from talking to Jo.

:shock: Pricey!, and 28H surely only good for fronts rather than a pair?

I'm trying not to say what rims were on the 'Strumpjumper' I bought recently as I too was looking for a pair of Thorrs... :oops:
Now I've gone a said it :oops:

Looking forward to seeing this being built and the first white Porc skid line that is made! :D 8)
