God knows what its cost me, and the pedals are not the final choice...but for the time being its finished. I could also do with some new decent decals from Gil..

Now I'm trying to think what the hell to do with all the red funky stuff I collected for the alternate build plan

Stunning,job well done mate

That is top class Rob, really nice work there...

Colour scheme is very classy, with really clean lines... outstanding

dribble

Bit tasty that fella

Not normally a fan of gold anodized parts, but they look sweet on your Pace

Good work Sire!!

Lush build mate, nice photos too

Its up there on BOTM now... although against that lloyd I have a feeling I should have kept it til next month.

Cheers all for the compliments, its nice to be able to sit back and not have to spend money on it. And all worries of not being able to ride it for fear of damaging it were blown out the window, I did a good few miles around oxford in it this morning in order to get the graffiti back grounds for the photos.

Nice work, JeRkY.

Nice, clean build.

Now that is Class

Looks the absolute dogs nuts, loving the detail.

Im glad the mech is now on a nicer ride than it was on

Rob thats lovely !!

Bet your well proud

but how does the dura ace/ pauls shifters feel? are u running a 9-speed rear cog or 8?

Im running 9 speed, and the thumbies work and feel great! I thought that because they were designed as bar end shifters that they may be a little ergonomically wrong, however it really isnt an issue, they are as natural and comfortable to use as the old XT's any day, but with 9 speed compatabillity. Having the friction front control is fantastic, no more chain /front mech noise. And the clicks on the rear shifter are incredibly positive and accurate feeling....I love them!

Very...job done!
