Headset: Cane Creek
Stem: Thomson
Handlebar: Ritchey WCS
Grips: Oury
Brakes: XT, bought here
Drivetrain: 36X18
Crankset: RaceFace Turbine, bought here
BB: RaceFace Taperlock
Chain: Sram
Pedals: Ritchey
Wheelset: Mavic / Specialized Stout / DTSwiss Onyx
Tyres: Kenda SmallBlock Eight 26X2,35
Saddle: Fizik CowSkin, bought here

Frame was an absolute ebay bargain & came with a few nice surprises like S-bend seatstays, good tire clearance, clever cable routing, nice cast rìtchey dropouts... i resprayed it, since it had a few rust spots. Probably didn't do a great job as the paint chips easily... still happy with the ride.

I think the frame and general set up is classy and understated, like the prune :D

No comment on the cow hide! :LOL:
