Update 3rd September
Interim update....
Right, been spending (what's left of) the savings :!: and aquiring a few parts.
Looking at a retro style, but with as lightweight parts as I could afford :!: Main objective was to get the 'look' as I wanted and I think the parts I've gone for are an improvement over the original build.
King Sotto Voce headset
Syntace F99 stem
Gripshift X-rays, thought I'd give them a go, look tidy and are lightweight, XTR M951's in reserve if I don't like them
Fox Float RLC 100 @ 100mm travel at the mo, will be dropped to 80mm - Suit the frame better than the RC36's IMO.
USE seatpost in black
Conti Speed King Supersonics in 2.3, off my Superlight and cleaned
Raceface Deus Chainset and BB - won't be staying, going for RS8 Duo Isis - black rings and silver arms.
Oh and the gorgeous King wheelset
Waiting on USE Atom carbon riser, then I'll get the cables and chain on etc
Opinions always welcome :!:
Cheers
