What plans do you have for the white one then????
Steve
Surely two rings (middle and inner) in old XT cranks, cantilevers XTR (with Onza Chill Pill in green), seatpost Thomson in green, QR Salsa in green, brake levers and shift XTR, derailleurs XT, wheels Chris King, headset XTR, bottle cage "Ringle replic" in green...

So what groupset etc are you planning? If that front mech ever becomes surplus please let me know. I quite fancy doing an alpinestars in that black Deore LX.

Nothing sinnister, he did'nt get banned as such i think he just canceled his membership, maybe his spending money on bits and bikes was getting out of control.
God knows how something like that could happen ?
