so here's what has been accomplished this afternoon
basically i have a hard act to follow bearing in mind the build that paul did, 3rd in BOTM if i remember correctly
so my theme is deliberatley and typically british where possible, some parts i already had, some were literally lying around others were earmarked for other builds and i have nicked or swapped some bits from other builds.
i don't like nicking bits from other builds but i'm happy to do it if a suitable part is available to go back on the doner bike, so for example i wanted to use the middleburn chainset from my E3 so i then nicked the xtr m900 chainset off the explosif leaving the E3 now full m900 (well almost) the explosif is gonna be spread around parts wise as i'm leaning to a totally different build and possible paint job for that.
the parts i had already were the pace fork, m900 headset, front and rear mechs, and a ti use post, and the ti flexstem. i also had the wheels, they were gonna be going in the P7 build but i think they're more suited to this build, i sort of want the P7 to have full xt anyway
i'm also gonna steal the flight ti from the kona while it's in pieces.
i know some of you hate the flexstem set up and i do have a titanium x-lite bar but no stem at the mo, but i don't mind the flexstems, infact i actually like them!!
obviousley i want some m900/910 sti units and brake wise i'll probably go for m900 canti's but i could be persuaded to look at something else like onza's etc but i must stress that all my bikes are riders so i'm put off onza's coz everyone says the crack and as i'll be riding it it has to be safe.
anyway here are some more pics.
