Kind words Matty thank you . This was my first build thread on retrobike and I think they went easy on me. I appreciate all the support.

I know how daunting it is putting a thread together especially for the first time. You’ve a top bike to be proud of. Great choices.

Looking forward to seeing many more.

Just realized who the seller is Nico. They are on RB and I've just bought from them recently. Maybe I can negotiate with them.

usually the Nico are nice

Falko's forks will be top notch! super clean and work like a dream - he has serviced many a pair

Nice looking bike - id have gone red headset and skewers though to match the seatpost/seatqr and shock end

spengle............................ not sure

They do look in amazing condition Nic, I've messaged him about them.
The purple headset was originally all I could find Nos and in 1 1/4. Skewers are Salsa rasta which will be changed as they are going on my LTS build.
I'm glad you like it, thanks

Liking the changes to this.

The bike looks great with them.

Although I'm still not commenting on those wheels!

Hunting for some XTR cabling myself right now... If anyone sees or has any floating around!

Much appreciated take it you are not a lover of the Spengles.
How's your spesh build going?

Looks ace
The bars look really wide - or is that just the photo?

The Spengles are ace Pete. Hold your ground.

Thanks Pete, appreciate that. It's because I have fixed the lock on grips further down the bar as they interfere with the Brifters. So I need to get some onza repros maybe.

I must have a pair or two of the original porcipaws in black, want me to take a look?
