Re: Another build............

Just given it a few hours. Not ready to release it yet. More to do tomorrow. Feels quite light but no chain or cables yet.

Re:

My 853 Rourke road bike weighs just over 8 kilos, that's under 18 lbs, so, yep, it should feel light.

Re: Another build............

Tempted to put the red rimmed 517s on but a bit too blingy?

Re:

517's yes, red ones... I don't think so.

I had black 717's on black XT hubs with black stainless spokes and it all looked very.... black.

Work in progress. Can't cut cable until I have the right stem. High rise 90mm on way. I know what works for me so also have 2" risers that were 680mm cut to 620. Could be too much but then I have options as too low low at present. Other than that and the Pace saga should be run rigid at first with basic forks. The usual THM lash up is occurring with very little bought specially as I've gone a bit mental on frame lately, what with the roberts, orange, explosif............ :facepalm:
