My only critique or suggestion would be to try a silver (Syncros Ti?) seatpost. I think the black looks a bit "heavy" up top.
yeah i agree on a silver seatpost. but the seatpost is a very ODD and hard to come by 30.4mm size. I tried a 30.2mm RaceFace XY at one point and I really liked the look of it on the build. but because it was a tad too small, it took more force to tighten than I would have felt comfortable with. and the alum RM frames of that generation (Cirrus, Experience and Nimbus) are known to be prone to cracking at the seat clamp area.

Tell me about it.....that bloody 30.4 Syncros is my "Eleanor"! Can't find one for the life of me!! I could shim it up....but thats just not right! Oh....and the fork is an absolute PIA as well! Can't find a Tange Big Fork with 200mm steerer tube! Looking good Rocki!

I have a couple of Tange forks off some RMs, one off the Experience and another off an Equipe. I think the Experience is a Big Fork. I'll have a look at the steerer length and get back to you tonite.
But not sure if it'll have the length you need.
