There you go, practically finished. Just a few things I'd like to change (in brackets above) mainly down to my fetish for replaceable cartridge bearings! Also toying with the idea of Maguras and Xt thumbies, if anyone has some nice condition Hs22 racelines they want rid of (or anything above-mentioned) please PM me.

Many thanks, Ben.
